Human Rights and WATERCOLOUR ideas.

Human Rights and Watercolour explorations.

Today we look at the first 5 Human Rights. Each of us will research one. We will share them with others so we can learn about them all...

1. We Are All Born Free & Equal. We are all born free. We all have our own thoughts and ideas. We should all be treated in the same way.

2. Don’t Discriminate. These rights belong to everybody, whatever our differences.

3. The Right to Life. We all have the right to life, and to live in freedom and safety.

4. No Slavery. Nobody has any right to make us a slave. We cannot make anyone our slave.

5. No Torture. Nobody has any right to hurt us or to torture us.

How does New Zealand look after the rights of different people? Who is this site trying to protect?	#3 Video 1 What do you think this right is about? When might you NOT have this right respected? Read the notes below. 3. The right to life: The American Medical Association estimates that more than four million women are victims of severe assaults by boyfriends and husbands each year. Studies reveal that family violence occurs in two million families in the United States, a fi gure that is probably underestimated as many incidents are not reported. In cities across America, gang violence takes the lives of innocent children and teens—not to mention the young lives destroyed by drugs—every day.

Read the stories below: At least 27 million people around the world are forced to work. Some are tricked into taking out a loan because they need money urgently. To repay the loan, they must work long hours, seven days a week, up to 365 days a year. They receive basic food and shelter as “payment” for their work, but might not ever be able to pay off the loan. An 11-year-old in Pakistan is forced to weave carpets to repay a debt that his father owes. He works 14 hours a day, sleeps by his loom, and cannot leave the carpet factory or he will be caught and beaten. WEBSITE What is this website for? How is it making change happen? Browse this site.

Thinking about your own actions, how do you make sure you respect this right even when you get angry? What strategies do you use? Below are some extreme examples. In Venezuela, torture against children is committed by some police officers. Such police officers have secretly placed guns on the victims, then have falsely accused them of starting a shootout. Many of these cases are not reported because the relatives and witnesses are frightened or do not believe that they can get justice. Emilio was taken into the Guatemalan army at age 14. “The army was a nightmare. We suffered greatly from the cruel treatment we received. We were constantly beaten, mostly for no reason at all, just to keep us in a state of terror. I still have a scar on my lip and sharp pains in my stomach from being brutally kicked by the older soldiers. The food was scarce and they made us walk with heavy loads, much too heavy for our small and malnourished (underfed) bodies. They forced me to learn how to fight the enemy in a war where I didn’t understand why it was being fought.” Browse this site. How does New Zealand look after the rights of different people?

Then we will show another R11 person for feedback. DO NOT HELP THEM- what do they see in your image? What ideas do they get?
DO NOT TELL THEM what your proverb is!!!

Make changes to your image to make it communicate the message better- show your person again. Talk it through with them. What other changes do they suggest to help communicate the message of your proverb?
If you are happy with it, add the proverb somewhere on your image, we will do a good copy on Friday morning- be ready!!!
