Synopsis

Human Rights Education (HRE) can be termed as education, training and information aimed at building a universal culture of human values and rights. An education which makes us aware of our dignity and status as human beings, encompassing all human values, attitudes and behaviour, upholding human rights ethics and promoting human action is Human Rights Education. It has relevance in almost all the stages of education.Human Rights Laws should be differentiated from the Human Rights Education despite their close relations. While HRE provides the historical, social, philosophical and political context of human rights, Human Rights Laws provide the legal framework for the protection and implementation of human rights. HRE program is a positive intervention to understand and address some deep-rooted social and educational inequities as it aims to bring and implement policies that society needs to adopt to move closer to the realization of the dream of structural peace in the world where there is no discrimination, violence or oppression. The book takes up the major aspects of HRE, including human rights movement in India, human rights framework and gender equity, revising human rights in the light of future threats, ethical quotient in HRE, development of HRE for the tribals, environment law and HRE and gender disparity in HRE, among others. It will be useful for the students and teachers of Sociology and Education and researchers in these fields. It will appeal to all those concerned with human rights and their education.
