Human Rights Consortium

What does a human rights issue look like?

Many people immediately think of courts, laws or campaigns. But human rights are also about the everyday issues that affect people's lives and communities.

Housing. Health. Poverty. Disability. Education. Arts and culture. Community development. The environment.

These are human rights issues too.

That's one of the things we love about the Northern Ireland Human Rights Festival. Every year, it brings together an incredibly diverse range of organisations, community groups, artists, researchers and activists to share experiences, start conversations and inspire action.

If you're working to improve people's lives, strengthen communities, promote fairness or protect people's dignity, we'd love to hear from you.

📅 The Northern Ireland Human Rights Festival takes place from 6-12 December 2026 and we're now inviting proposals for this year's programme.

Please consider submitting an event and becoming part of the conversation about rights, here at home and around the world.

Placard making this Friday from noon til 2pm at CCA, 10-12 Artillery Street, BT48 6RG.

Let’s build a show of colourful resistance to racist hatred and destruction.

Bring your creativity, bring your colour.

Together we will win.

Solidarity Rally, 1pm, Saturday 13th June, Belfast City Hall

Racist pogroms in our city last night have left communities terrified. This brand of collective punishment - targetting whole groups of people because of the actions of an individual - is racist and it must be challenged.

We have been inundated with requests to act and offers of support. We will be rallying on Saturday at 1pm and we are calling on everyone to be there.

If you want to sponsor this event please get in touch! We want to send the biggest, loudest, most unified message that we will not tolerate race riots in our city.
