Our campaigns

Trafficking in Northern Ireland

Image of a woman from the report Wrong Kind Of Victim? One Year On: An Analysis Of UK Measures To Protect Trafficked PersonsWe are working to address human trafficking in Northern Ireland through research and recommendations to the NI Executive, including the Department of Justice.

Institutional child abuse inquiry

Detail from the poster for the Time for Justice event

For decades, hundreds of children suffered physical, sexual and emotional abuse in church and state-run institutions in Northern Ireland. We welcome the announcement by the Executive of an inquiry into the abuse, and will work to ensure it meets the needs of victims. Find out more

Help save thousands of lives

Every single day 1500 people are killed as a result of armed violence. That's the equivalent of wiping out more than the population of Belfast every year. These deaths are not inevitable. They are the tragic consequence of an arms trade that is out of control.

But this could be about to change - in July David Cameron is sending a team to the UN to help draw up the first ever international Arms Trade Treaty. To get it right we need him to publically commit that the UK will not compromise on human rights. Your MP can help break his silence before it is too late.

Urge your MP to be an Arms Trade Treaty champion
