Education

Human Rights Education is all about imparting children with the knowledge, skills and values to recognize, claim and defend their rights. Various Human Rights organizations and representatives have defined human rights education in their own ways. Human rights education teaches both about human rights and for human rights. Its goal is to help people understand human rights, value human rights, and take responsibility for respecting, defending, and promoting human rights. Human Rights Education i Human Rights Education is important for building and advancing societies. Human Rights Education empowers people to know, claim and defend their rights. Human Rights Education promotes participation in decision making and the peaceful resolution of conflict. Human Rights Education encourages empathy, inclusion and non-discrimination. Human rights education, however, means more than educating about human rights. It is critical that human rights education receive greater attention and should be included more broadly in school curricula. Research on human rights education demonstrates its capacity to produce numerous positive outcomes for children and adolescents, including an improved sense of self-worth, increased empathy, and a reduction in bullying and harmful behaviors in classrooms. In the end, if children are not taught about their rights and the rights of others, how will they be able to realize their own rights or effectively advocate for others?
