Human Rights

As Christians called to love our neighbour, welcome the stranger, challenge unjust systems, and offer refuge and care to those who are marginalised and in exile.

In response to the Christian call to stand with people who are marginalised, poor and oppressed, we have a responsibility to contribute to the building of societies in which all people are valued and respected. The Uniting Church seeks for each person to have conditions that enable them to thrive and reach their full potential.

Our social justice work is based upon our values and faith, and leads us into advocacy for many areas where human rights are under threat including:

• Refugees
• Prisoner justice
• LGBTIQA+, including marriage equality
• Peacebuilding
• Homelessness
• Marginalised groups
• Victims of human trafficking
