OPRECHT

<p>On December 10, 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, affirming that human rights apply to everyone, everywhere. Rights such as freedom of speech, education, and property ownership are foundational, but they are not guaranteed. Every day, these rights are violated—sometimes openly, but often hidden from view, affecting only those directly impacted.</p><p>The Human Rights Research Network (HRRN) at Ghent University aims to bring these hidden realities to light. Through this podcast, we invite listeners to explore human rights with a critical and nuanced perspective. Our episodes tackle a wide range of topics, from detention and independent living for people with disabilities to migration and climate justice.</p><br><p>We ask important questions: How have human rights shaped history and how can they guide our future? What connects issues like health, education, and technology to human rights? And most importantly, how do oppressed and marginalized communities experience these rights in their daily lives?</p><br><p>In this podcast, we amplify the voices of those whose rights have been violated, alongside the insights of researchers from Ghent University. Our goal is to make human rights accessible to all—human rights in plain language.</p><br><p>“Oprecht” is a podcast initiative by the Human Rights Research Network (HRRN) at UGent, created in collaboration with the podcast collective “Mensentaal”.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
