I was amazed at how little I knew about even the basics of human rights. For example, the simple fact that they are written down and available to everyone. The concept that your right as a human is the same anywhere in the world is a huge eye opener.

I was shocked at how many human rights are violated on a daily basis in every country across the globe. Violations of my own human rights, my next door neighbour, the tribe living on an unheard-of far off island, it's happening all the time. This course will empower many people and give them the strength to stand up against violations.

As an educated and well-informed person, I was astonished to find out how very little I actually knew about human rights. This course has taught me so much in a really short space of time. I am remarkably more knowledgeable in discussions with friends and family as well as feeling more empowered as a human being.

We always hear of human right violations occurring in war-torn or poverty stricken countries and we all see this on the TV, in faraway places, but I had no idea that human right violations occur in every country in the world on a regular basis!
