Who do human rights protect? (Not)? – lecture + discussion

Human rights are on everyone’s lips – too, because there are constant breaks with them. That's why we ask:
Which human rights are actually meant?, when people talk about it in Germany/the so-called global north?
What are their contents?? Who do human rights protect? (Not)?
What needs to change and what can we do?, so that this world becomes fairer for everyone?

Participation does not require any prior knowledge and is free.
