This report examines the rights crisis faced by Black and ethnic minority groups. 75% of Black people in the UK do not believe that their human rights are equally protected compared to white people’s. Glaring disparities across education, housing, healthcare, the criminal justice system and labour market continue to threaten these rights and deserve urgent attention from the government.
But proposals contained in the government’s new ‘Modern Bill of Rights’ consultation, its plan to “revise and replace” the Human Rights Act 1998 with a Bill of Rights, could set back the rights of Black and ethnic minority people even further.
