Human Rights Education Programme for the Community ( HREC )

The programme aims at providing awareness of human rights to the public at large, which section is least exposed to information on human rights. It is envisaged that this would provide an opportunity for community groups to understand the rights they are entitled to and cognize how human rights protection mechanisms become relevant in pragmatically solving their economic, political and social problems.

The programme participators comprise groups of farmers, workers, housewives, unemployed youth who are not attached to any educational institution. They are exposed to human rights through practical and need based activities. The methodology used is flexible and varies with different environments.

To serve this purpose, community centres are established by the CSHR in selected villages representing different types of communities in various geographical locations. Or else the CSHR assists community centres which were already in existence with advice, training, lectures and workshops.
