What is the PILCH Homeless Persons Legal Clinic doing?
Between March and May 2009, the Homeless Persons’ Legal Clinic (HPLC) conducted workshops with people experiencing or at risk of homelessness about human rights in Australia. The aims of the HPLC’s workshops were: • to ensure that people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness are provided with targeted and accessible information about the National Human Rights Consultation so that they are equipped to engage directly with the consultation process, including by making written submissions; and • to collect information and data about the relationship between homelessness and human rights in Australia. The information and data will be collated and used in the HPLC’s human rights campaigning and to inform our submission in response to the National Human Rights Consultation.
