York: Human Rights City We aspire for York to be a place where individuals and organisations can debate and learn to embrace human rights principles in daily life.

York: Human Rights City Network (YHRC) aims to reframe the discourse on human rights at a local level. We are creating a culture of human rights through building a civil and statutory society network, conducting training workshops, holding public events, undertaking research-based advocacy and publishing an Indicator Report. The Lord Mayor of York declared York as the UK’s first Human Rights City on 24th April 2017. With a population of around 200,000, a strong history of activity in the field of social justice, a high number of organisations currently working in this field and two universities, York is an ideal location to foster a culture of fairness and human rights. York is:

a City of Sanctuary
a White Rose City
a Dementia Friendly City
a living wage city

and now a Human Rights City. With a history of fairness and equality embedded in York by Joseph Rowntree and the Quakers, York is well placed to lead in a new movement of human rights communities across the UK, Europe and the World.
