It provides guidance to Haitian students and creates an environment where students with similar background can interact with each other.…
Even till this day victims of this horrible tragedy keep getting involved. As of 1997, the abuelas de plaza mayo have started a campaign in which they reach young people of Argentina that are questioning their true identity. This has actually been a huge success. They have reunite lots of young people to their long lost family. The once missing children have even spoken and gotten involved in the association.…
Case management services were provided. WYP (Wraparound Youth Partner) Andy Ngo attempted a meeting the youth in Anaheim. WYP Ngo got a call from WCC (Wraparound Care Coordinator) Jody Taylor that the youth will not be present in Anaheim.…
Human rights issues in Guatemala and in Latin America are front and center today for a reason-- the atrocities committed in each country to its people in the late 20th century are absolutely dreadful. The government corruption plays too huge of a role in this, as it won’t get the justice the people deserve until much later because of fear. Chile is an example, as Pinochet, the leader of the coup d’état that overthrew Allende in 1973, was given the title as Senator for life once democracy was reinstated and died in his home. No one has been incarcerated for their work in the desaparecidos campaign. It’s only recently when movement for stating the human rights atrocities committed between 1973 and 1990 against the people has surged.…

The website ACLU is considered to be credible due to the fact that for more than 100 years, the ACLU has been the United States of America’s go to source for all things related to liberty, working in courts, legislatures and communities. This source has also worked to defend and protect the individual rights and liberties that the constitution has hereby declared to all American citizens. The soul purpose of the ACLU is to “ensure the promise of the Bill of Rights and to expand it’s reach to people historically denied its protections.” The ACLU has many positives according to Procon.org. The cons of the ACLU are that the Theoretical Expertise system provides a quick guide to theoretical source quality, the star system is based on a person's…
In order to make their voices heard, they got the SCCIA to invest in a public interest lawyer. In the beginning they were being funded by a NGO. These two institutions played a huge role in letting the SCCIA to win their case. We must not also forget that their case was also very prominent in the media. I think that this shows that it is much easier to mobilize for a cause if you are privileged or connected to institutions that are privileged or…
Mary Robinson has been an efficacious champion of human rights for more than fifty years. While her eloquent autobiography, Everybody Matters: My Life Giving Voice, is full of interesting lessons about working in the global governance world, three lessons stood out in particular. First, to make a successful career in global politics, you must work with the skills you have and develop those you do not. Second, once you have joined the global governance workforce, support systems are necessary. Finally, the tools the United Nations provides are often insufficient to the complete the goals stated by the United Nations.…
Think about all the horrible events of humans versus humans. There are many examples of horrible events, such as the Holocaust. Those are gross violations of human rights yet many just let it go on since it is simple to disassociate from problems that don’t directly affect you. Guatemala had not been excluded from this man versus man conflict; the US had forced leaders into Guatemala. This caused uproar of Guatemala’s people.…
The first is always powerful. I am no exception. My first contribution to the world took place when I worked for HOPE Foundation, an organization devoted to helping children, and women. I first joined out of pure curiosity and interest. Yet, HOPE Foundation soon became an essential part of my life and a catalyst that led me to my passion towards social activism.…
Policy plays a major role in its impact on special interest groups and thus influences politics within the community. This can be demonstrated by the role policy and politics have played in fighting human trafficking. Policy adopted by the UDHR sets standards for human rights, including the right to freedom. The UDHR’s policy is used by activists worldwide as a model for protecting human rights (Glickstein, 2014). Laws have been developed based on the UDHR’s right to freedom policy.…
Many human rights violations have occurred and been accounted for, supporting the idea that guidelines and handbooks simply are not effective. We must, at the very least, hold the legal systems accountable, reform the failing…
Each and every government has their own way of controlling their citizens, some of the time, governments use excessive force to scare their citizens into compliance. There are many horror stories of governments torturing their citizens with methods of water boarding, caning, the death penalty, electric chairs, and taking away citizens rights to gun ownership as a punishment. With these methods governments are desensitizing their own citizens; making these controlling methods common and okay. Each government has its own laws and regulations about the fine lines between torture and interrogation, but do these regulations keep the morals of the citizens within the nation? Every citizen has their own rights that includes the right of life and the right to bear arms.…
The history of human rights plays a crucial role in the lives of people from Latin America. The rights of humans have been violated for many decades and continue to be violated today. Since corruption continued to impact the lives of many individuals, human right organizing became a fundamental social and political movement that helped people bring awareness to the corruption happening in Latin America. Mobilizing grabbed the attention of activist, grassroots and middle level societies thus sparking Latin America to become a movement society seeking to gain equal rights for all individuals. Through organizing Latin America was attempting to empower others to join the movement in order to be able to reach autonomy.…
