The LRC is a human rights orga­ni­za­tion in South Africa. We use the law as an instru­ment of jus­tice for the vul­ner­a­ble and mar­gin­alised, includ­ing poor, home­less, and land­less peo­ple and com­mu­ni­ties who suf­fer dis­crim­i­na­tion by rea­son of race, class, gen­der, dis­abil­ity or by rea­son of social, eco­nomic, and his­tor­i­cal cir­cum­stances.

The LRC has offices in Johan­nes­burg, Dur­ban, Gra­ham­stown and Cape Town. Our work takes us from the heart of urban cities to the most remote rural areas in South Africa. We also par­tic­i­pate in net­works that involve the South­ern African region and the African con­ti­nent.
