Write for Rights

Write for Rights

• Amnesty’s global campaign and the world’s biggest human rights event
• The people you are helping want to make the world a better place. They are demanding justice, and human rights for all. Many have been imprisoned, disappeared and attacked.
• Every year, millions of individuals write letters, sign petitions and organise events.
• Every action counts, and these people need your help. 

What do humans need to live?

Imagine you are David Attenborough.

Describe what human beings need to live  to an alien.

• What do humans need to survive?
  
• What things help us to grow physically?
  
• What things help us to succeed in life?
  

What do humans need to survive?

What things help us grow physically?

What things help us to succeed in life?

Human Rights

• All human beings, have similar basic needs (physiological & safety needs): nutritious food, healthcare, shelter, education, protection from harm and more.
• Needs are different to wants. Wants are not necessary for a person to survive, grow and develop. 
  
• Everyone of us has the right to have these needs fulfilled.  These rights are called human rights.  
• Human rights are the basic freedoms and protections that belong
  to every single one of us. They are based on principles of dignity,  equality and mutual respect – regardless of age, nationality, gender, race, beliefs and personal orientations. 

 

Human Rights

• universal – they belong to all of us; everybody in the world.
• inalienable – they cannot be taken away from us. 
• indivisible and interdependent –

they are all of equal importance and are interrelated.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)

• The UDHR was drawn up by the United Nations in the years
  immediately following World War II. 
• Every country in the world has agreed  that they are bound by the general principles expressed within the 30 articles
  of this document. 

Human Rights: Task

Read the 30 articles of UDHR and choose the 5 rights that you think are the most important and choose the 5 rights that you think are least important.

Explain why you think these rights are most/least important.

Think about:

How will the human rights benefit your / our lives?

What would happen if you / we didn't have them?

Important!

• In reality you don’t ever have to choose your human rights.
• Although they can sometimes be restricted, human rights can never be taken away from you.
• Every human right is important!
