Stand For All is a human rights advocacy and support organisation, providing professional advice and support to a range of organisations and individuals.
There is a growing need to mobilise organisations, companies and individuals to stand up for the rights of all. That means bringing groups campaigning against climate change, for refugees and other migrants rights, those supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, defending disability rights, campaigning against poverty and inequality, combating the discrimination against the Gypsies, Roma and Traveller communities, and everyone else, together.
None of us can campaign on everything alone. We have seen how tribalism and working in isolation destroys the very movements which those spreading it want to promote. We all need help. Most of all though, we need to stand together in order to
STAND FOR ALL.
We provide services to help you develop your campaign messaging, identify funding and connect with other organisations who may be able to provide support.
We don't offer legal advice, but we will search for the most suitable options for you in case it is needed.
We are always happy to hear from any organisations who want to be involved and provide their expertise, because we are all in this together.
No-one deserves to live in fear. No-one deserves to be denied rights.
Stand for all also works with companies to help them identify issues, and advises them on how they can take action to demonstrate that they are focused on improving and supporting human rights for all.

Daniel Sohege explaining how punishing the victims of trafficking only reinforces the grip of trafficking gangs.
Daniel Sohege explains here why we need more focus on child protection for separated children, and not just placing them in hotels.
Banning refugees crossing the channel in small boats would contravene international refugee law.
A failure to properly conduct age assessments by the United Kingdom Home Office leaves children at risk of deportation.
Outsourcing patrols in the channel could lead to an increase in the risk of internationally illegal "pushback operations".
We are just seeing a "rehashing" of tired old polices designed to demonise asylum seekers, rather than reduce channel crossings.
For a fraction of the cost of unworkable plans, such as deporting people to Rwanda, the government could actually provide better support.
By setting up "informal Match portals" rather than ensuring that Ukrainian refugees were protected with established systems the government put them at risk.
There are many reasons why you may soon more men than women crossing the channel. That doesn't mean they aren't refugees.
Daniel Sohege warns of the risks of children who have been separated from their loved ones being deported to Rwanda due to government policy.
LGBTQ+ refugees are at risk of being further persecuted if they are deported to Rwanda under government policies.
By placing refugee protection in the hands of public goodwill, rather than functioning asylum systems, people risk slipping through the cracks.
Financial Times, 15th March 2022
There are many reasons why asylum seekers may not feel safe seeking it in France, or other countries. The UK cannot ignore them.
The government talking about how asylum seekers should use "legal routes" ignores how limited resettlement routes are.
The myth that "Britain has always been welcoming to refugees" is just that, a myth. The UK has never been particularly welcoming.
People aren't seeking asylum "from" France, but, as Daniel explains here, there are very good reasons why they may not seek it "in" France.
