Students will examine the responses to discrimination and the measures and strategies that have been adopted to address the impact of discrimination, at different scales, by individuals, formal and informal groups. The unit also looks at the role of The Declaration of Human Rights, The Rights of the Child, Youth Rights and the Millennium Development Goals in attempting to address the issues associated with discrimination.
