Daney Faddoul joined the Human Rights Law Centre in March 2020 and focuses on the campaign to create an Australian Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.
Daney has a wealth of campaigning experience from his time within the union movement, and at GetUp where he was a Senior Campaigner and then their Political Director. At GetUp he developed and led campaigns on economic justice and oversaw all of their political engagement activities, and assisted with a wide range of high-profile campaigning, messaging, media, fundraising and policy work.
Before his time at GetUp he was negotiating enterprise agreements as an Industrial Officer within the trade union movement, and coordinating national industrial plans and campaigns.
Daney studied law at the University of Western Sydney and is passionate about creating an Australian Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, because it will help prevent human rights violations from occurring, will be a powerful tool for people and communities to challenge injustice, and will foster better understanding and respect for human rights within the community.
