Human Rights

All people deserve to be respected and valued. Regardless of where we were born, how much we have, what we believe or think, or our age or the colour of our skin - all lives are important and we deserve to live them with satisfaction, justice, safety, and freedom. There are many different kinds of human rights and many people who have fought to establish and protect those rights. Here you can learn about rights for indigenous, workers, children, and lgbtq+ people, the right to go to school and have a home, the right to think a certain way and practice the religion of your choice - rights we may not even realise weren't always protected. Human Rights is an oversized, graphically vibrant book with timelines, short and easy-to-understand explanations, important people who fought for changes in human rights law, and a chapter on protecting future rights. It's an essential visual reference that explains all there is to know about our human rights and the laws and doctrines that protect them.
