Creating human rights awareness.

World Human Rights Watch(n.d)

I believe that the creation of human rights awareness through education and information is the ultimate, even if long-term solution against human rights abuses. These are some of the ways in which many people can get to understand their human rights so as to avoid being victims of human rights’ abuse.

1    1. Using videos for impact and change.

Many videos can be created to explain to people the different human rights they have as well as to show some experiences of abuse of human rights and how this can be avoided.

2       2. Use of photography.

 Photography can be one way of capturing live moments about human rights which can be used as evidence in case there are reported cases of human rights abuses. This can also be used for further reference and illustrations during human rights education.

3     3. Using the power of music and art.

Human rights awareness has been practiced throughout history, especially serving the anti-war movement in the mid-20th century. Today, art has become a powerful and international language to speak against all forms of human rights violations, along with other activism.

4       4. Use of written literature.

Written literature can be in the form of books, poems, articles that explain more about different human rights to people. The written literature can be translated into different languages so as to make it easy for every pe0rson t easily understand them.

5       5. Human rights campaigns.

These can be in the form of gatherings where people can be addressed about different human rights. In addition, these campaigns can include walks or demonstrations that are intended to address different human rights issues.

Humans rights can not be protected if people do not understand their human rights. Therefore, it is important to promote human rights’ awareness among all people through the above-mentioned ways so as to have every citizen of this global world, aware of their rights.
