Centre for Environmental Rights – Advancing Environmental Rights in South Africa

Tabitha Paine

Attorney

Tabitha completed her LLB degree at the University of Cape Town and is a Bertha Justice Fellow.

As a researcher, analyst, and lawyer, Tabitha has over 10 years of experience in the human rights field. In previous roles she has focused on gender work, transformation in higher education, sexual and reproductive health rights, violence and crime, prisons, and education law.

For the last several years, she has worked as an attorney on corporate accountability issues affecting human rights. It is her fervent belief that the environment is a system that is fundamental to everyone’s wellbeing, including future generations, and is not for sale.

Tabitha’s spare time is taken up with her floof-paw called Roho and trying to find hikes that aren’t too high!
