Bachelor of Human Rights
Human rights embody key values in our society such as dignity, fairness, respect and equality. They also govern how individual human beings live with each other and society. Some people in life may face neglect, abuse or isolation and human rights are an important means of protection for us all. By setting principles concerned with equality and fairness, human rights act as an attempt to ensure people are treated fairly, regardless of things like gender, race and age.
