Supporting vulnerable people in The UK through community services and human rights advocacy

We are a UK volunteer-led charity providing practical support to refugees, survivors of abuse, and vulnerable individuals rebuilding their lives. Through community-based programmes, integration support, wellbeing initiatives, and advocacy, we help people regain stability, confidence, and independence. We also contribute to global human rights advocacy by raising awareness of injustice and promoting fundamental freedoms worldwide.

Who We Are

The International Liberty Association (ILA) is a UK-registered charity (No. 1160607) founded by survivors of human rights abuses. We deliver practical support to refugees, survivors, and vulnerable diaspora communities rebuilding their lives in the UK, while contributing to global human rights advocacy.

In the UK, we provide digital literacy training through 50+ annual sessions, one-to-one integration advice clinics, youth leadership workshops engaging around 40 participants weekly, and community wellbeing seminars. Through cultural exchange programmes, support calls, and crisis response initiatives, we strengthen resilience, social inclusion, and access to essential services.

 

Alongside our direct services, we raise awareness of injustice and defend the rights of individuals facing persecution worldwide. Whether supporting survivors locally or advocating globally, ILA promotes dignity, opportunity, and lasting community empowerment.

Stopping Executions. Defending the Vulnerable.

We campaign to end executions in Iran and defend the rights of prisoners of conscience through powerful public action and relentless advocacy. From organising demonstrations, letter-writing drives, and mass petitions to gathering evidence from inside prisons, we bring global attention to their suffering.

Through publications, satellite broadcasts, and social media, we expose the regime’s crimes and echo the voices of the silenced—especially women, children, and religious minorities facing brutal oppression. Every name we say, every voice we amplify, brings us closer to justice.

Helping Survivors Rebuild in the UK

We support refugees and survivors of human rights abuses in the UK through 50+ annual digital skills sessions, youth programmes engaging over 300 participants each year, weekly workshops averaging 40 young people, one-to-one integration clinics, and 60+ online community meetings. Our work strengthens independence, integration, resilience, and meaningful participation in British society.
