 We are living through disconnected times, society is polarised and it's hard to connect other people's experiences to our own. Nobody's listening to each other. Maybe it would help to try and see the world through other people's eyes, because no matter what our differences are we all want to live in peace and safety in the world. Maybe it's time to think again. We're a human rights charity and we use stories and film to walk with all sorts of different people, hear their perspectives and show how human rights are helping us all build a better society. So what are human rights? Human rights are the structures which protect the less powerful from the more powerful. They are universal, a shared moral code to allow us to inhabit this busy planet together. After the great humanitarian disaster of the Second World War the continent's leaders resolve that it should never happen again. It's mostly about being human rights and the human rights act in particular are a really good tool for forcing the government to look again at its priorities. They make me feel like I can legally challenge injustices. They offer us a set of shared values. It's about the kind of society that we want to live in. If it wasn't for right people would be getting rid of the world. We constantly have to fight for our human rights because so many people before us have fought for them and died for them. We need to work for each other and look out for each other no matter what colour of your skin, your race, your religion. You know we've got to work together for mankind. Human rights are the choices that we make. They are the responsibilities we have to each other to care and to look after one another. We are each other.
