We need education in and for human rights.

THE STRATEGIC CONNECTION BETWEEN EDUCATION AND HUMAN RIGHTS:
Increased human rights awareness and practices among non-state actors (including members of the public, activists, political and cultural elites) increases pressure on state actors to respect human rights and promotes the realization of human rights in everyday relationships among people

Duty Bearers
• Duty-bearers are State actors with obligations under international human rights law to respect, protect and to fulfill people’s human rights.
• Examples:• elected and appointed officials• civil servants• representatives of the government and
individuals/organizations (such as CSOs) retained by the government to deliver services
• Duty-bearers can be found from the community level to the national level.
• In some situations, some non-State actors such as corporations and families are viewed as duty-bearers, although not necessarily from a legal perspective.
