How our economies affect human rights


Have your group watch the following video:

Then revisit your problem map and consider the following questions:

  • To what degree does it incorporate the economic dimensions of the problem? 

  • How could these dimensions be strengthened?

The group should then update the map accordingly 

Next break into groups of 3 or 4 and consider the following questions:

  • What roles do you think the state should play in the economy to guarantee people’s rights?

  • Where is and isn’t the state playing these roles in your context?

  • What is making it difficult to get them to play these roles?
