About the Course

INTRODUCTION

Human Rights is a broad area of study which focuses on basic freedoms and rights to which every person is entitled. Education in human rights is itself a fundamental human right and also a responsibility.

The United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education (1995-2004) has defined Human Rights Education as "training, dissemination, and information efforts aimed at the building of a universal culture of human rights through the imparting of knowledge. To successfully functionalise Human Rights Education, this certificate course covers areas like women's rights, child rights, dalit, tribal and minority rights. It therefore provides the students with a chance to understand human rights in various aspects.
