Human Rights – An Introduction NEW
What are human rights? The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in 1948, in response to the atrocities of World War II. Human rights have become a part of social expectations, but how do they affect us?
This workshop will help you:
- Identify the link between oppression and class struggles;
- Determine how all kinds of discriminations operated in the past, and how they operate today;
- Challenge oppressive attitudes and behaviours, ideas and systems in our society through individual and collective action;
- Explore how talking about human rights issues strengthens our union.

Scented products such as hair spray, perfume and deodorant can trigger reactions such as respiratory distress and headaches. Facilitators and participants are asked to refrain from using scented products while attending our workshops and meetings. Thank you for your cooperation.
