PSHE L.O: To investigate how human rights activists have changed the world.

Activity 1: Have a go at answering the following two questions in your home learning books OR discuss them with an adult at home:

• What is a 'human rights activist' and what do they do?
• How have these people made the world a better place for everyone?

Human rights activists work individually or with others to ensure that all people have their human rights respected. There are many human rights activists in the world who:

1. Promote human rights
2. Get laws which do not respect the rights of all people changed
3. Support people or groups of people to ensure their human rights are respected.

Here are some examples of some human rights activists. How many do you recognise?

Activity 2: For each activist above, can you research and summarise in one or two sentence(s) what they fought for?

Activity 4: Pick a minimum of one of the four activists above, open the file below titled 'Human Rights Hero Research Sheet' and complete the research activity for your chosen activist(s).

Human rights activists play a very important role in making the world a fairer place for all people. They stand up for people whose rights are not being met or respected and speak out about situations which are unjust and wrong. Human rights activists are instrumental in changing perceptions, opinions and laws which do not support the human rights of all people. 

Unfortunately, despite very positive changes over the years and the tremendous efforts of human rights activists, there are many people throughout the world who still do not have their human rights met 
or respected.

The world needs us all to be human rights heroes! We can do this by taking action and making choices which respect and protect the rights of all people.
