What Are Human Rights?
Basic rights and freedoms that every person is entitled to, regardless of their race, gender, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status.
Why Human Rights Education?
Human rights education empowers individuals and communities to develop a deeper awareness of human rights principles and values. Our aim is to equip people with the knowledge to protect and promote human rights in their own lives and society.
Why Now?
In today's rapidly changing world, human rights education equips people with the knowledge and skills to address complex human rights challenges. It promotes tolerance, empathy, and respect for diversity, helping individuals become informed global citizens.
