My topic is Violation of Human Rights in Peru (1980-2000). I found this lesson plan from a project in Austrailia. I would change this lesson plan slightly. Instead of people in" another country" I would ask my students instead to talk about Peruvian Andean people.
Violence and abuse inflicted on women by men is not treated with the same seriousness accorded to a human rights violation, or torture, or terrorism, or a war crime, or a crime against humanity, or an atrocity, despite resembling each of these things closely at least and precisely at most.
Press Releases is a task that be used with this article.
The article is presented to students and they have to research on a woman that has suffered abuse and violence during the terrorists attacks of Shining Path and MRTA.
Students have to write a press release about their findings This will provide reflection and publicity!
.
If we have to look for a renowned institution in human rights around the world, there it is Amnesty International. It has been all around the world denouncing all kinds of human right violations. They are specially interested in crimes against humanity due to war, political unrest, terrorism, hunger, etc.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission was set up in Peru in order to investigate and present a report of what had happened in Peru as a consequence of the action of the Shining Path.
The aim of the final report is that we should not forget our history so that we do not repeat it. The video shows an exhibit of photos and a survivor who speaks to the audience in Quechua.
