3/9 Exemplar work for Human Rights 1-15

Human Right # and Description Violation Scenario Advocacy
#1 We are all born free and equal. When I was eating lunch with my friends, a boy wanted to sit by us, but my friends said he wasn’t smart enough to eat with us. I went to sit by the boy and eat lunch with him.
#2  Don’t discriminate. Someone teased me about the church I attend. I said that I can believe in what I choose, and so can they.
#3  The right to life. I saw some people hurting two girls at recess. I took them to safety and had the nurse help them.
#4 No slavery. A student was forcing another to do their school work. I told the teacher and she stopped it.
#5 No torture. A friend was trying to force me to dance at the dance. I told them that dancing was torture to me, and they stopped.
#6 You have rights no matter where you go. A new student is being treated badly. I stick up for my new friend and roast them back.
#7 We are all equal before the law. Police are treating people differently, based upon their skin color. I can be part of a peaceful protest against bad police.
#8 Your human rights are protected by law. I was at home and my dad was hurting my mom. I called 911.
#9 No unfair detainment. My friend has detention, but the teacher didn’t know the real story. I spoke to the teacher, and she apologized to the student for making a mistake.
#10 The right to trial. My friend was trying to defend himself, but the teacher was not listening to him. When the teacher was in a better mood, I went to talk to her and she agreed to listen to the student this time.
#11 We’re all innocent until proven guilty. Fun Factory said some people stole from them and so Mrs. Nishikawa had to talk to many students. I told the truth about myself and about others.
#12 The right to privacy. My brother is always poking into my business and into my room. I can tell him to stop, tell him to get out, and tell my mom.
#13 Freedom to move. President Trump is saying that the Dreamers have to go back. I can sign a petition that protects the rights of the Dreamers.
#14 The right to seek a safe place to live. My friend’s family was stuck in a dangerous neighborhood. I asked my parents to help them to find a safer place to live.
#15 Right to a nationality. Someone is from another country, and people ignore him when he asks for help, because he’s different. I don’t care that he’s from another country, and I help him.
