by Liliane Masengo Mwamba Kabamba (Author)

Once upon a time, human rights. This book illustrates the history of human rights as well as the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights through pictures drawn by young students. It reduces big concepts to an affordable size to facilitate the understanding of young people. The different stages of the story summarize the universality of the search for human dignity through the different struggles undertaken in different parts of the world before the creation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It informs students about human rights to enable them to become active citizens and to equip them to act as human rights advocates. We are not alone in the world in being affected by the issue of human rights but we are connected and interdependent. Human rights violations in different parts of the world affect us directly or indirectly. Hence the 3 domains targeted in this book: the cognitive domain to raise awareness, the affective domain to empower and finally the behavioral domain to transform ideas and consequently change the world.
