Report Launch: A Year of Making Rights Real

Making Rights Real would like to invite our friends, supporters and funders to attend the launch of our report “A Year of Making Rights Real”. We are incredibly proud of what our small team has achieved, walking side by side with communities who are living with human rights violations, and being led by what is most important to them. This report highlights our work over the last calendar year, from January to December 2024.

This event will take place on Zoom. We are committed to meeting your accessibility needs- please tell us at the time of booking.

Women in North Highlands have been raising significant concerns about lack of access to safe and accessible reproductive and maternity healthcare, since the downgrading of provision at Wick Hospital in 2016.
