LEARNING OBJECTS/PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES
As developed in Module 2, we see the importance of guaranteeing human rights in any part of the world, and for any person, regardless of their origin, race, religion, sex, etc. We also see the need to include a gender approach to human rights, given the special vulnerability of migrant women.
Duration: 45 minutes
Objectives:
- Understand Human Rights as universal and inalienable.
- Identify the purpose and importance of the UN Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.
- Identify the need for a gender perspective in international and European treaties and policies.
In order to reinforce the knowledge of this module, we propose the following activities.
Activity 1: Taking into account the recognition of gender equality in human rights:
- Mention the different international treaties that include a gender perspective. According to them, do you consider that the gender perspective is sufficiently introduced in an effective way?
- Looking at the analysis of the European legislation on social inclusion and civic participation of migrant women, what concrete measures do you know that are currently applied to favor the inclusion of migrant women? Give some examples.
- Based in the latest 2021 report of the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women(https://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Women/SRWomen/Pages/SRVAW.aspx) Reflect on how a gender perspective can be included in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in 100 words approx.
Activity 2: taking into account the reality of gender-based violence:
Do you think it is practical and understandable for a woman who comes from a sub-Saharan country, who has never been to school and who has never heard about the right to asylum?
