Welcome to our podcast!
Making rights real is our new podcast series, looking at what human rights mean in practical, everyday life with experts from Northern Ireland and across Europe. The series aims to demystify international human rights standards and connect them to women’s daily lives, to look at how rights based approaches can create better societies for women and girls. We also share good practice from elsewhere in the UK, Ireland and Europe.
In the podcast series, we explore issues from why rights matter to ending violence against women and girls, intersectional practice and gender budgeting. The first two episodes are now available, and we’ll be launching new episodes monthly.
The podcast is available below, and also available for free via Podbean, YouTube, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.
The idea of rights and everyday life
In our first episode, we hear from Olivia Potter-Hughes at Northern Ireland Human Rights Consortium and Aslihan Tekin, a human rights lawyer based in Brussels, Belgium. Olivia and Aslihan chat about why human rights matter for all of us, and how they link to women’s everyday lives.
