Dialogue: March 21 - International Day Against Racism
Today, March 21, is recognized as the International Day Against Racism. The date is historically significant. We have also recently seen in stark and tragic detail how discrimination can lead to violent conflict.
In the United States, it was fitting that on Tuesday, March 18, Senator Barack Obama made a speech addressing the question of racism that has been raised in the current US presidential campaign.
notebook: Testing for Discrimination
In this notebook we learn about how an organization in Hungary tests for and documents incidences of systematic descrimination against a disenfranchised population. When an instance of discrimination is reported, this organization will send out testers find out whether or not this discrimination was systematic and then document their findings.
notebook: Making the Global Local
In the human rights field there is often a gap between local human rights abuses and the international laws and treaties that are meant to prevent these abuses. The League of Human Rights Advocates in Slovakia recruits members of a disenfranchised population and trains them to become human rights monitors. These monitors watch for human rights abuses in their own locality and then translate international human rights laws and apply them to their local situations.
