Ms Emily Logan:

In light of my experience during the past ten years, I share that view. We have a long way to go. My experience in the past ten years is that much of what the Deputy describes relates to a lack of information, education and, perhaps, understanding. The commission has a great deal to do and it will be making a significant contribution. I also want to work with civil society. My experience is that one does not sit in one's ivory tower and hope that the position in respect of human rights will change. That will not happen unless we mobilise the support of civil society, the members of which often have very direct relationships, particularly with marginalised communities. The members of such communities may never hear about the commission unless it works through and with civil society.
