Human Rights Explained In A Beautiful Two Minute Animation

What are human rights?

They're a fundamental part of society; they make sure we are all treated with the same level of equality, dignity and respect. Without them, our lives would be completely different. But that's just scratching the surface.

This beautiful animation will explain why we have human rights (funded by the Legal Education Foundation).

EachOther is a UK-focused charity that uses independent journalism, story-telling and film-making to put the human into human rights. The digital content we produce is grounded in the lived experience of ordinary people affected by human rights issues. We involve them in the process of developing their stories, rather than talking for or over them. Theirs are the voices we platform and amplify to our lay audience of over a million viewers each year. In this way, we hope to grow public support for human rights here in the UK.

I like how he says "And yes, prisoners". Because tragically society seems to forget that prisoners still count as human beings and too often prisoners are abused or mistreated by society.

its a shame how humand need to LEARN to treat one another with respect.

After reading the article and watching the video I believe that we as humans should not ignore these cries for help. Victims of these crimes go to no one for help. I do believe these are global major issues that need to addressed and I believe that everyone is entitled to their freedom and rights no matter what age, ethnicity, gender, or religious beliefs.

You should be proud if you really apply human rights in UK and everyone is protected by these wonderful rights with respect and without any discrimination.

Great animation . Well explained and somehow touching . I'm doing a presentation on this topic and I'd love to show this to my class ! Great stuff :D

[muhasdazukhri]

Very best definition, human rights are values to keep society equal, fair and justice.

[deirdrestuartneurostreet]

God bless those of us who continue to struggle for our human rights 💜

[breadstick_]

here are some notes for you guys

Prisoners protect our rights
Used to be controlled by one person and kings only gave rights to people they liked
After WWll they met up and had a right written about human rights
In 1998 the human rights act was passed which made them part of uk law
This made public schools and hospitals follow them and if they didn't they could go to court and enforce it

[shawnkb]

Watching this with my tutor group! Excellent WOW!

[tatyanahhall]

Any other American loving this guy’s accent over here???

The biggest tragedy of scrapping the HRA is that it would mean we could not enforce ECHR rights in the UK. We would still have human rights but the added expense and time-lag would mean they would be in name only.

Just look at cases like Smith & Grady v UK to see how important the HRA is to our legal system. Why on earth anyone would want human rights legislation written by politicians, I don't know. Human rights are supposed to transcend politics.

The comment section is cancerous by the way great video

[CanadianPolybius]

wouldn't mind having the kings rule again tbh, at least back then wars were obviously about land and the realpolitik of the royals and their vassals rather than one whole nation of people pitted against another whole nation of people
