Human Rights in Protests, Aged Care, The Courts, Housing: Victorian Charter Advocacy Guides
The Victorian Charter Advocacy Guides are a set of practical resources developed by the Human Rights Law Centre to assist individuals and advocates in understanding and applying the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities. These guides offer step-by-step advice on addressing potential breaches of rights, such as raising issues with decision-makers and referencing relevant sections of the Charter. They are tailored to support various groups, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, individuals with disabilities, those facing housing challenges or homelessness, people with mental illness, victims/survivors of crime, individuals in the criminal justice system, and those in prison. The guides aim to empower users to advocate for their rights effectively within the framework of Victorian law and policy.
