Why Ilaria Gaspari recommends A Buon Diritto
“A buon diritto: a non-profit association that has been defending the rights of marginalised people for 20 years, especially those deprived of their liberty. If the degree of civilisation of a country is measured by that of its prisons, the Italian situation is very serious. A buon diritto takes on questions that politics tends to ignore, and which are nonetheless fundamental.”
Roman civil-rights association founded in 2001 by sociologist and former senator Luigi Manconi. A Buon Diritto Onlus defends prisoners, migrants, the chronically ill and those in precarious legal situations through legal reports, strategic litigation and draft legislative amendments. Its work has shaped Italian law on prison healthcare, end-of-life rights and residency regularisation. Operates with a small permanent staff and a wide network of pro-bono lawyers and academics.
