Synopsis

In 2015, at least 122 countries tortured or ill-treated people worldwide. Despite our ever-socially-evolving world, human rights violations remain consistently abhorrent. This book features articles from organisations such as Liberty, Girls Not Brides and Amnesty International, alongside many others exploring issues such as child marriage, torture and FGM. It also looks at human rights law in the UK, internationally and within Europe. This includes examination of the Human Rights Act, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, anti-slavery laws and the European Convention on Human Rights. The information inside comes from a variety of sources, including newspapers, magazines, government reports and charity groups; providing different perspectives on challenging topics. At the end of the book is a selection of activities that will encourage interaction, literacy, critical thinking and independent research. Content is accessible and engaging, tailored primarily towards the 14 to 18 age group.
