The Human Writes team invites you to explore our student-written blogs on queerness and emancipation. Zukaina Al-Mohamed’s piece, “The Necessity of Comedic Movies for Queer Folk,” explores the importance of lighthearted queer-focused media in the formation of positive queer identities, while in “Seeking Reform in the United States Juvenile Justice System,” recent graduate Madelynn Shaw examines the over-imprisonment of youth in America and the continuing work needed for collective liberation.

The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
