We are pleased to announce the availability of our latest podcast episodes in Human Rights Education NOW! Episodes 68 and 69 feature conversations with Dr. Feliece I. Yeban.
To honor this day, we are thrilled to launch our 2025 End-of-Year Campaign: Human Rights Begin with Education. At HRE USA, we believe that human rights education is the foundation for justice. When young people understand their rights, they are empowered to challenge injustice and help build a more equitable world.
