Woven Teaching is excited to share our latest edition of Human Rights Beyond the Headlines! This month’s topic: Migration is a Human (Rights) Story.
Created to support educators in helping young people navigate the current events that impact their lives, Human Rights Beyond the Headlines will provide background information about key current events and strategies for discussing them with young people, including how to understand them through the wider lens of justice and human rights.
Migration is a Human (Rights) Story
Migration, the movement of people away from their home to somewhere else, is a fundamental part of human history. Migration has always happened. But why do people move from home to somewhere else–crossing cities and borders, countries and continents?Everyone needs and deserves to be safe. When people feel unsafe, mistreated, or vulnerable, they sometimes look for options to live elsewhere. When people don’t have educational and work opportunities to build a decent life, or when their families and loved ones live in other places, they make the difficult decision to leave home. Often, the journeys are dangerous, difficult, and uncertain–but they go anyway.
