The report reflects on LHR’s key strategic priorities and interventions during the year, including major litigation outcomes, advocacy initiatives, and cross-cutting organisational developments. It situates this work within the broader social, political, and institutional context in which LHR operates, acknowledging both the progress achieved and the systemic challenges that shaped the year.

In line with LHR’s commitment to transparency and accountability, the report also provides insight into the organisation’s governance structures, oversight mechanisms, and use of resources. It is intended to account to the communities we serve, our partners, funders, and governance bodies, and to demonstrate how resources were deployed to advance constitutional rights and public interest outcomes.

Beyond accountability, this report serves as a tool for institutional learning. By documenting successes, challenges, and lessons from 2025, it supports reflection on what the year revealed about the evolving human rights landscape and LHR’s role within it. In doing so, the report contributes to organisational learning, strategic planning, and informed engagement
