Supporting vulnerable people in The UK through community services and human rights advocacy
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, survivors of human rights abuses, migrants, and vulnerable families across the UK to rebuild their lives, strengthen their independence, and feel more connected to the communities around them.
Our programmes address some of the everyday barriers that can make rebuilding life in a new country difficult. Through regular digital skills workshops, we help older migrants gain the confidence to use smartphones, access online services, communicate with family and friends, and navigate an increasingly digital society. For many older people who may face language barriers or social isolation, these sessions also provide a welcoming space to build friendships, stay connected, and become more involved in their local community.
We also work closely with young people and families. Our youth programmes engage hundreds of participants each year through weekly workshops, educational activities, community events, and opportunities to develop confidence, skills, and meaningful social connections. Where families are experiencing financial hardship, we also provide practical assistance, including grants to schools to help cover essential items such as school uniforms, helping ensure that children can participate fully in school life without additional financial pressure on their families.
Alongside this, we provide one-to-one integration support, community meetings, online sessions, and practical guidance for people adjusting to life in the UK. Across more than 50 digital skills sessions each year, weekly youth activities, one-to-one support, and over 60 online community meetings, our aim is not simply to provide short-term help, but to reduce isolation, strengthen resilience, build confidence, and enable people to participate fully and independently in British society.
