Human Rights

A real picture of Iqbal Masih.

1. What are we learning so far?
   We are learning about human rights and how they are breached in different ways around the world.
2. What is the most interesting thing you have learned?
   I didn't know until this unit that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was formed after the massacre of WWII. I also learned more about child debt slavery.
3. Explain what your work is and how it links to the topic.
   We are reading the book about Iqbal, a child debt slave that escaped his master and changed thousands of lives. Child debt slaves work without human rights; they do not have rights to freedom, and they are often underfed and overtired. They work in terrible conditions, and are only allowed one break a day other than sleep.
