Human Rights Education Associates (HREA), Soka
Gakkai International (SGI) and the Office of the
United Nations High Commissioner for Human
Rights (OHCHR) have jointly produced this film as
a tool to raise awareness about the positive role
that human rights education can play in fulfilling
human rights.
A key message is that “one person can make a
difference” in solving problems in society. Human
rights education can transform people’s lives,
empowering individuals on a path to dignity and
bring about positive change in their respective
communities and societies. In this sense, human
rights education plays a fundamental role in
ensuring equality and equal opportunities,
combating discrimination and preventing human
rights violations.
The film also shows the significance of United
Nations instruments and frameworks ‒ such as the
World Programme for Human Rights Education
(2005 - ongoing) in advancing implementation of
human rights education. A Path to Dignity
includes statements by the United Nations High
Commissioner for Human Rights and the
President of Costa Rica, a country which has been
playing a crucial role for human rights education in
the United Nations context.
HREA, SGI and OHCHR started production of the
film in 2010 in anticipation of the United Nations
Declaration on Human Rights Education and
Training, which was adopted by the General
Assembly on 19 December 2011.
A Path to Dignity is available in Arabic, Chinese,
English, French, Japanese, Russian and Spanish.
