Every year millions of innocent people fall victim to the abuse of their own human rights. Occurring in a world where everyone is born free and equal, this goes against the basic rights and freedoms to which we are all entitled.

Minnesota Human Rights Week is dedicated to distinguishing human rights by educating individuals on what they can do to help put a stop to the causes of human rights violations.

Throughout Minnesota Human Rights Week, numerous organizations will be hosting educational events and seminars devoted to raising human rights awareness and getting more people involved in supporting a cause that will affect and improve the lives of innocent people around the world.

Minnesota is continuously recognized on both national and international levels for its support of human rights issues. Four Minnesota organizations, the American Refugee Committee, Center for Victims of Ttorture, Minnesota Advocates for Human Rights and the Children’s Theatre Company, have teamed up with the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial and Speak Truth to Power to further expand the importance and reach of Minnesota Human Rights Week and help bring an end to human rights discrimination.

Minnesota Human Rights Week is poised to be one of the most influential human rights movements in Minnesota and throughout the midwest.
