JOIN THE HUMAN RIGHTS MOVEMENT!

A growing segment of advocates and activists in the United States are turning to
 human rights to secure social, political, and economic objectives that they 
have
sought for decades. Human rights help ensure more participatory and sustainable 
solutions to social justice issues, provide common standards against which to 
measure
the shortcomings of domestic policies, reframe social justice issues as human 
rights
violations, expand the circle of allies to the larger global human rights 
community,
and enhance accountability beyond the U.S. justice or political systems

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Discover Human Rights training series 
[http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=7nepvjpab.0.r7neqllab.bbrsbtbab.0&ts=S0990&r=3&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.discoverhumanrights.org%2Fdhrtrainingseries.html]
by The Advocates for Human Rights provides concrete steps for  how organizations
 and individuals can use the standards, principles, and methods of human rights 
to combat entrenched poverty, discrimination, and injustice in their community. 
Participants will analyze situations from their own experiences and evaluate how
 applying a human rights framework would change their approach to solving 
problems.
Using tools such as organizational assessments, case studies, and implementation
 models, participants will create an action plan for incorporating human rights 
in their work.

The Advocates for Human Rights 
[http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=7nepvjpab.0.4allvjcab.bbrsbtbab.0&ts=S0990&r=3&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theadvocatesforhumanrights.org]
is a non-profit, non-partisan, non-governmental organization that promotes and 
protects
human rights in Minnesota and around the world. In addition to speaking before 
the
United Nations, it works with groups overseas to draft legislation addressing 
violence
against women in countries that previously had no such laws; obtains political 
asylum
for immigrants and refugees; advocates for human rights; runs a school for 
children
in Nepal; opposes the death penalty; works to stop sex trafficking in Minnesota;
 helps make Minnesota a more welcoming place for immigrants; and develops human 
rights curricula for schools. The Advocates has a positive impact around the 
world,
but could always use more supporters and volunteers to further the cause of 
human
rights.
