This guide has been published to enhance the understanding of our youth with regard to the basic values, benefits, and protections provided for individuals through human rights. Teaching our youth about human rights values, principles and the Bill of Rights at an early age is complimentary to the fact that human rights are inherent. The guide was developed with the emphasis on the concepts of respect and social responsibility, with a strong secondary emphasis on linking those concepts within broader settings including the school, the home, and the community.
