1/ This #IWD2026, we recognise that the rule of law depends on everyone having equal access to justice. Women make up the majority of civil legal aid clients, meaning they are disproportionally affected by the failures of our underfunded legal aid system.

1/ The UK's benefit sanctions regime is causing harm to those most vulnerable. In a report published by PLP at the end of last year, drawing on casework from 100+ sanctioned people and analysis of DWP data, we found the #UniversalCredit sanctions system is failing on its own terms.

1/ On this World Day of Social Justice, we pay attention to the growing distrust in public institutions. From a #publiclaw perspective, social justice depends on a strong rule of law that limits government power and gives people real ways to challenge unfair or unlawful decisions.

1/3 Judicial review is meant to help people challenge unlawful decisions by public bodies. But today, it’s simply too expensive for most. PLP research from 2019 found that an average case can cost £30,000+. Today it is likely to be more costly. This puts justice out of reach for many.

Human rights matter most when they are hardest to defend. This #HumanRightsDay, we’re part of 180+ organisations across the UK standing together to call out recent government rhetoric and demand better from our Prime Minister. We want leadership that strengthens rights, not weakens them. #HRD25
