Recent Submissions
Literature and Human Rights: The Case of the Hazaras in Afghanistan
(Global Campus of Human Rights, 2022-12-22) Ali Ahmadi
Victims of human rights violations are often reduced to numbers while
their pain and suffering remain unreflected. Novels such as The Kite Runner resist
against this treason to truth. Through a generalisable example, real or fictious
storytelling brings to the reader the mostly unrecognised identity of victims as
well as the experience of their challenges.
COVID-19 Disrupts Fight Against Child Marriage and FGM in Africa
(Global Campus of Human Rights, 2022-12-15) Mayamba, Johnson
Essential COVID-19 measures interrupted the battle against female

renew efforts to combat these human rights abuses which blight the lives of
millions of women and girls.

finding mission to investigate human rights violations in Iran may turn out to be an
effective international measure for accountability, but more needs to be done
urgently.

(Global Campus of Human Rights, 2022-12-01) Funa, Ana

reciprocity. That’s the only way we are going to learn how to shift our culture
from an extraction culture to a balanced and harmonious culture with the land.’

The Taliban Rule and the Radicalisation of Education in Afghanistan
(Global Campus of Human Rights, 2022-11-24) Hussain Rezai
Since their takeover of power in Afghanistan, the Taliban have made several decisions to radicalise the education and higher education systems, on the basis of an extremely conservative interpretation of Sharia. The consequences are dire and far-reaching, affecting certain disadvantaged groups more than others. The most affected are young girls whose access to secondary education is banned.
