SIT/IHP Human Rights: Foundations, Challenges, and Advocacy

Investigate the history of the human rights movement, the state of human rights protections, and future prospects and challenges across four national contexts.

This program will examine the following fundamental questions: What rights are common to all human beings? How are these rights enshrined, exercised, and safeguarded?

The program will spend time in four different countries. This comparative approach will highlight cultural variations in individual rights related to political freedoms and expression, underrepresented minority groups, and gender equity.
