Human rights

This topic speaks about human rights, what it is, how human rights are related to us and how to protect them

Practical task

  • At first, please, map human rights organisations or institutions, including state ones, etc. around you, which you could ask for help/advice or for which you could actively contribute. Map their activities. Write down the list of them and divide them according to the field of their work in
    • 1) activism, lobbying and advocacy, including reporting a contribution to policy changes;
    • 2) educational activities and awareness raising; and
    • 3) assisting those whose human rights were violated.
  • Now imagine one of your rights was violated, e.g. you were discriminated on the basis of your age when you applied for a new job. Please, think what NGOs and other bodies could help you to solve the situation as well as those, which could help you raise awareness of the issue and advocate for change. Propose a strategy of their use.
