Concept of "human rights day" at schools has been introduced already. Students spend a couple of weeks in preparation of the day, which includes debates, posters competition, drama, tableau and lecturers on specific human rights subjects which is really a creative way to create the awareness among the students. The number of young students participating in such activities indicate the sensitivity of our youth towards combating violation of human rights.
Human Rights Days have been arranged in different schools all over Pakistan in which the students of the schools participated in the following activities.
They also
presented tableau and drama in which human rights aspects
like women, children and minorities rights were highlighted.
Poems and performances on national and regional songs were
also performed.
School Principals
and Resource Persons from FHRI gave several lectures including
“ The Importance of Human Rights in Student’s Practical
life in every program. It enables students to understand
their rights and responsibilities as member of the society.
The lecture also highlighted that Islam is a religion of
peace and we should adopt values of tolerance, understanding
and acceptance of difference in opinion. All winning participants
are given prizes at the end of the program.
This group goes along with the team of FHRI and performs dramas
on human rights issues by playing roles of father, mother,
son, daughter, molvi (iman mosque), sweeper, Chaudhry and
others. The interactive theatre performances were very informative
and the issue of human rights, women rights, minorities rights,
human rights and gender equality were clearly addressed. The
fact that Islam is a peaceful religion which respects all
humans irrespective of their caste, creed, colour, language
or race was also highlighted.
The medium of theatre is a very powerful
one, particularly for school children who enjoy the light
hearted performances and learn a lot from them. The interactive
theatre is becoming very effective and popular and it is
proving to be an excellent tool to change the mindset of
the children and along with that challenging the perceptions
of the parents and teacher attending the HR days. The result
and impact of these Human Rights Days programs are spectacular.
Over all 36 programs went very well.
The Institute has had the singular accomplishment of introducing
human rights in remote areas of Pakistan, including FATA
and rural districts, where human rights programs have never
been conducted before and where the need is greatest. The
very important point we have seen in this project is response
and the participants output which is shown in every program.
The involvement and commitment shown by the students and
the community was marvellous. They have really shown their
enthusiasm in a very effective manner.
