The Centre’s work played a key role in York being declared the UK’s first human rights city.
The Center for Applied Human Rights was set up in 2008 on the principle that lived experience and evidence should inform every aspect of human rights teaching and research. It is the only centre of its kind in a UK university, and hosts human rights defenders every year through one of the largest protective fellowship schemes in Europe.
How does the Centre For Applied Human Rights support the York Narrative? Here's some examples...
The Centre’s fellowship scheme is one of the few in existence that are open to anyone working on any human rights issue from anywhere in the world – this enables the centre to support and give a platform to work that might not otherwise be possible.
The Centre will continue to build research collaborations which span academic disciplines and focus on real-world challenges, with real human impact.
As the UK’s first human rights city, the Centre for Applied Human Rights works in local communities to support the right to education, housing, health and social care, equality and non-discrimination for all.
