A total of ten Basic Human Rights Education Centres are being run by the Awareness Society in four VDCs of Kailali district. The centres provide three months of basic human rights education.

The education has raised awareness among community members about their rights. They have started to raise their voice against oppression and injustice.

Twenty-three individuals, who attended such classes, say they came to know about their basic rights and about international rights standards. These individuals had attended classes run by the Shanti Centre in Urma-6.

The landlords of their village used to exploit them in various ways like giving low wages and not allowing any rest during work. "This exploitation is not going to continue anymore," said a community member.

Similarly, 15 women participants from Kanari village say: “Now we know what our rights are. We will unite and raise voice against men who oppress us."

They discuss human rights issues openly and with confidence these days.
