Black Sash
 South Africa  |  Human Rights

Our Mission is to work toward a South Africa in which Human Rights are recognised in law and respected in practice; the government is accountable to ALL its people and attends to their basic needs in a participatory and dignified manner; the Constitution is upheld by all; social and economic justice is recognised as fundamentally important; and ALL members of society take responsibility for reducing inequality and extreme poverty.

More information

 

The Black Sash is an independent, non-governmental Human Rights organisation that has worked tirelessly for justice and equality in South Africa for nearly 55 years. Since the end of Apartheid in 1994, the Black Sash has focussed on the promotion and protection of our hard-won freedoms, particularly in the areas of social and economic rights. Our aim is to enable all, with an emphasis on women and children, to recognise and exercise their human rights, particularly their social and economic rights. And to create a society that has effective laws and delivery systems, including comprehensive social protection for the most vulnerable.
