advocacy for detainees' rights

Advocacy for detainees' rights involves efforts to ensure that individuals held in detention facilities are treated fairly and humanely. This includes promoting their legal rights, such as access to legal representation, the right to a fair trial, and protection from mistreatment or abuse. Advocates aim to raise awareness about the conditions detainees face and push for reforms to improve their treatment. They work with organizations, policymakers, and the public to uphold human rights standards, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their circumstances, are respected and safeguarded while in custody.
