Check out The People‘s Decade of Human Rights Education and find a user-friendly site that provides you with everything from hands-on teaching materials to legal texts confirming everybody’s basic rights - from the elderly to migrant workers.

PDHRE mirrors the enthusiasm of her founder, Shulamith Koenig, who grew up living with Israeli and Arab children but came to live in the U.S. after being called a traitor for promoting a two–state solution to the Arab–Israeli conflict. Now she is devoted to promoting human rights education for social transformation, working with a global network of affiliates from grassroots organizers to UN officials.
