Human rights are as highly inspirational as they are practical. They embody the hopes and ideals
of most human beings while also empowering people to achieve them and their benefits. The
function of human rights education is to effectuate and make a part of human experience the
principles and actual benefits of exercising all the rights and entitlements in being a part of the
human race. It sets standards but also produces change. Effective human rights education can:
produce changes in values and attitude; produce changes in behaviour; produce empowerment
for social justice; develop attitudes of solidarity across issues, communities, and nations; develop
knowledge and analytical skills; and encourage participatory education.
