Abstract
Although human rights, equality and social justice are closely aligned, the relationship between them is rarely analysed or articulated. This paper considers this relationship and argues that strengthening their connections and generating solidarity could synergistically improve the outcomes for each. Such convergence would require some refocussing, including a stronger emphasis on socio-economic rights within human rights discourse. Our analysis indicates that such an emphasis could be electorally popular.
