About Us at the Observatory
Based at the School of Law, Swansea University the Observatory brings together different strands of work on human rights and social justice taking place within the School, but also across the University.
We are a collaborative project with local, national and international partners, providing a forum for research, debate, education, knowledge exchange and impact on human rights and social justice, and working for realisation of human rights and social justice through policy, practice, advocacy and law reform.
The Observatory is committed to:
- Conducting research, data analysis and evaluative studies
- Working with, and learning from stakeholders.
- Providing information and training to develop capacity to promote better understanding of human rights and social justice.
- Based on the outcomes from research, identifying and advocating for change in law and practice.
- Harnessing the best in knowledge and innovation to support better realisation of human rights and social justice.
- Working with local, national and international partners in academic institutions, professions, government and non-governmental organisations
