The term "human rights violations" has been very popular since President Duterte became president. This is because of the alleged human rights violations in the form of state-sponsored killings executed under the "drug war" which is one of the flagship programs of the administration. The situation has even called the attention of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). However, human rights violations have been existing for a very long time not only in the Philippines but also in many countries around the world.
In this lesson, you will learn about the forms of human rights violations, its effects, and its specific examples. Moreover, you are expected to enumerate different approaches to solve, mitigate, and suppress human rights violations. Ultimately, you will be tasked to develop a training plan on educating other people as regards human rights violations and the ways to prevent them.

As a Filipino citizen, one of your civic roles is to be vigilant and critical about possible human rights violations. Thus, it is very essential that you are educated about your rights and those of others.
