These kids miss school and the physical labor as well as pesticides takes a toll on their bodies. I was interested in that this is going on inside the US and it is allowed by US law. I'm still wondering due to the age of this video, whether it has been at all solved or combated.

This organization created the Bay Area Police Watch; a force designed to monitor and prevent misconduct and violation of police officers. They worked to ban pepper a spray, a chemical used to subdue suspects, and stop police brutality, harassment and intimidation. His efforts have offered lessons that violations of human rights STILL take place even with the flaunted protection that the democratic law of the US offers. ]]> 2017-03-23 16:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/100685/s7ewk4pwhgyo/wish/162191521 50196 https://padlet.com/100685/s7ewk4pwhgyo/wish/162191725 A group of three men are setting out on a journey to live in extreme poverty on just one dollar a day for 56 days. They're planning on living in Pena Blanca in Guatemala to experience the way people there live with what they have. The type of life these people live is a violation of article 23. This article states that that everyone who works is supplemented by other means of social protection, if necessary. Having to live on a dollar a day is a violation of this right because these people work, but they do not make enough to support their families. I found it most interesting that a group of men who are used to living a life with a sufficient amount of money, are now going to try to live the way that many people do. I find it interesting that if you ask people they don know how they would live on a dollar, while others have no other choice. I wonder how these three men are going to end up after the 56 days.]]> 2017-03-23 16:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/100685/s7ewk4pwhgyo/wish/162191725 100841 https://padlet.com/100685/s7ewk4pwhgyo/wish/162191867 Muhammad Yunis was the founder of the Grameen Bank, the worlds most successful microcredit institution.

He outspoke against the unruliness of the apartheid and successfully ended eight years of white minority rule. He was hated my most people where he lived and received many threats and evil looks. This explains a violation of the UDHR article because it suggests racial prejudice and repression. He says that despite the offers of free health care and education, the most important change to him is that now he is free. ]]> 2017-03-23 16:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/100685/s7ewk4pwhgyo/wish/162195147 100685 https://padlet.com/100685/s7ewk4pwhgyo/wish/162195298 People fleeing tyranny from Jihadists or Civil War travel across the Mediterranean, many dying in the boats along the way.

They live in battered homes or homeless shelters, and don't get proper education or home life. They are brought to the camp to learn a sense of belonging and such and the counselors throw a christmas party every session despite it going on during the summer. How does this program effect the kids after they leave?]]> 2017-03-23 16:36:01 UTC https://padlet.com/100685/s7ewk4pwhgyo/wish/162197222 100685 https://padlet.com/100685/s7ewk4pwhgyo/wish/162198778 The part spiritual part political leader of the tibetan people. He is eternal and is reincarnated into different bodies, and his successor is chosen by the other high Tibetan Lamas. After the tibet was annexed by China the Dalai Lama has played a part in resisting the atrocities committed by the Chinese government and being a leader for an abused people. Stands for human rights and tibetan freedom.

They work in an environment that teenagers shouldn be working in. These kids are exposed to chemicals and other harmful things. This is a violation of many rights because these teenagers are being forced to work in these conditions and are surrounded with dangerous things. They wear trash bags as their protection and have to work in tobacco fields, when they aren even legally allowed to smoke. I find it shocking that these teens are forced to work here and that this can causes brain damages and other health issues. Itś unbelievable that only some US states banned teens from under 16 to work in tobacco fields. A question I have is whether working on tobacco fields also increases the chance that these teenagers are going to become smokers?]]> 2017-03-23 16:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/100685/s7ewk4pwhgyo/wish/162199438 50186 https://padlet.com/100685/s7ewk4pwhgyo/wish/162199969 Ka Hsaw Wa founded the EarthRights International organization. The organization filed a lawsuit against a US corporation, Unocal, after their agents, hired for security and transportation of an oil pipeline, committed serious violations against the local indigenous people. They committed extortion, rape, torture, forced labor, and extrajudicial killings. This violates UDHR article because these people of a different race were persecuted. They did not live in freedom or safety, were tortured and were treated as slaves. Wa spent years walking through miles of the Burma forest interviewing and recording confessions of victims of human rights violators. ]]> 2017-03-23 16:42:50 UTC https://padlet.com/100685/s7ewk4pwhgyo/wish/162199969 50196 https://padlet.com/100685/s7ewk4pwhgyo/wish/162202448 Many powerful voices gather and unite to speak about fighting for many global changes. This isnt a specific violation, but it has to do with many of them and the way that we must fight to change all that we do wrong. As stated in the video, we have to do something to fix these violations. The US and its people must change the amount of poverty, gender inequality, inhuman treatment, the right for education to everyone, etc. I found it surprising that so many powerful voices were able to be a part of this video and stand up for what they believe. ]]> 2017-03-23 16:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/100685/s7ewk4pwhgyo/wish/162202448 50186 https://padlet.com/100685/s7ewk4pwhgyo/wish/162203986 Kek Galabru founded the Cambodian League of for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights during the UN transition period.
