ANNUAL REPORT 2015 3) Spreading the Value of Human Rights in Society Human Rights Education To institutionalize human rights education, the Commission expressed its opinions on the following issues: partial amendment made to the enforcement regulations of the Infant Care Act on July 30th; improvements in human rights education to promote the rights of sailor migrants on October 8th; and strengthening human rights education in the supplementary education course for social welfare workers on December 9th. To respond to the potential demand for human rights education, the Commission developed various forms of new content, including: ‘Sports and Human Rights’, ‘Media and Human Rights’, the ‘Guide to Public Administration Focused on Human Rights’, as well as online content, such as the ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights for Children’, ‘Education Course to Prevent Discrimination against People with Disability’, and ‘Social Welfare and Human Rights’. As a result of the recent reorganization of the human rights education sessions, the Commission now has eight-day courses (Basic-Intermediate-Advanced) instead of five-day ones. The Commission divided the sessions into the following categories: Disability, Mental Disorder, Children and Youth, and Immigration. Then the Commission appointed about 300 lecturers who have qualified in the lecture demonstration review. The education sessions covered a diverse array of human rights issues, including: police, military, seniors, homeless people, multicultural families, children and youth, people with disability, the right to information, and mental health. While the number of sessions performed saw a 7.5% year-on-year increase (from 2,334 to 2,509), the number of trainees decreased by 11.5% (from 164,075 to 145,322). These trends reflect how the Commission attempted to keep the maximum number of trainees below 50 to maximize the effect of its education sessions. Promotional Campaigns for Human Rights The Commission delivered its message on how to speak in a way that supports human rights through radio commercials, and spread the Guiding Principles to Uphold Human Rights in Press Coverage through a smartphone application and education course for intern reporters. In addition, the Commission actively promoted its major activities, policies, functions, and roles, taking advantage of diverse media outlets and channels, including its own publications (‘Human Rights’, the magazine, blogposts, newsletters, etc.), and radio commercials, as well as 12 | National Human Rights Commission of Korea
