Course Description

This course is made available through the eLearnAfrica and Edx partnership.

Across the world, barriers are growing. Every day people fleeing war and persecution find the door slammed in their face.


Refugees have human rights. What are these rights? Who is responsible for upholding and protecting them? How can we hold them to account?


This short course will enable you to find the answers and empower yourself to defend and promote the rights of refugees and discover how you can be part of the solution.


Learn from the experts, campaigners and activists at Amnesty International how to identify human rights violations and to claim, defend and promote the human rights of refugees.


You will be challenged to think critically and interact with participants. Together you will learn how to empower yourselves to create change.


This is Amnesty International's second human rights MOOC. Be prepared for active learning, connecting with course participants from across the world and to become part of a global community campaigning for the rights of refugees to be upheld everywhere.


The course is also available in French and Spanish.

Certificate cost may vary. You will be redirected to the host page for cost and payment options.

Amnesty International

Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 7 million people who take injustice personally. We are campaigning for a world where human rights are enjoyed by all.

 

We are funded by members and people like you. We are independent of any political ideology, economic interest or religion. No government is beyond scrutiny. No situation is beyond hope.

 

Few would have predicted when we started that torturers would become international outlaws. That most countries would abolish the death penalty. And seemingly untouchable dictators would be made to answer for their crimes.

 

What does Amnesty do?

 

We investigate and expose the facts, whenever and wherever abuses happen.

 

We lobby governments, and other powerful groups such as companies. Making sure they keep their promises and respect international law.

 

By telling the powerful stories of the people we work with, we mobilize millions of supporters around the world to campaign for change and to stand in defence of activists on the frontline.

 

We support people to claim their rights through education and training.
