The Human Rights Report Card serves as an important benchmark for the public as well as for policy makers. Looking at a wide variety of indicators, the Human Rights Report Card measures South Africa's performance in Human Rights. Depending on whether South Africa is performing averagely, good or bad, grades are awarded. Hereby, the Report provides us with crucial information on where efforts have to be intensified to achieve more favorable Human Rights conditions.

South Africa receives good grades e.g. concerning Freedom of Religion, Belief and Opinion, Political Rights, Citizenship and Freedom of Movement and Residence. South Africa performs averagely in e.g. the sectors Human Dignity, Slavery, Servitude and Forced Labour and Labour Relations.
