How could a Human Rights Act help particular groups in our community?

We all want to live fairly and freely as equals, no matter what our race, gender, age, ethnicity, sexuality, language, religion, disability or other status.

A Human Rights Act will benefit us all, particularly some of the most vulnerable members in our community.

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples

• People with disabilities

• People who need access to justice

• Children and young people

• Women experiencing domestic violence

• People at risk of, or suffering from, homelessness

• People in rural, regional or remote areas

• LGBTI people

• Older people

• People from culturally and linguistically diverse communities
