What Are Human Rights?

The Story of Our Rights and Freedoms resources are designed to assist students in building a critical understanding of human rights and responsibilities, and to develop the knowledge, attitudes and skills to apply human rights in everyday life. These resources were developed in partnership with Cool Australia. This animated video introduces the concept of human rights – what are they, where do they come from and why are they important in Australia today?
