Human rights
The rights GEF teaches, why knowledge matters, and how to take part.
“Only proper knowledge can reinforce the courage to voice for justice and encourage peace.”
Human rights: Knowledge. Dignity. Action.
Known as the cradle of human civilisation, India has nurtured human rights since time immemorial. The Forum's workshops carry that tradition forward: every independent person should know their basic rights and be able to stand against violence, abuse and tyranny.
Workshops are conducted for students of educational institutions and are equally open to independent individuals, professionals and unions, with no discrimination of any kind.
