Our website has a new feature: the news published here can now not only be read, but also listened to.
According to Human Rights Centre director Egert Rünne, this is a step towards making human rights information accessible to as wide an audience as possible. “A news story about human rights published on the Estonian Human Rights Centre’s website can be relevant to absolutely any person in Estonia,” says Rünne. “We are doing everything we can to make information about human rights as broadly accessible as possible.”
In addition to the new audio feature, the Estonian Human Rights Centre has for the first time published a summary of its human rights report in easy-read language (in Estonian). Designed as a leaflet, the summary is intended not only for people with intellectual disabilities, but also for teenagers, older people, foreigners still learning Estonian, and simply anyone who wants to access information quickly.
Since you are here...
It is important to protect everyone’s human rights, because it helps to keep stability and peace in the society. There are many challenges for protection of human rights in Estonia: intolerance has really come out of the closet. Bad things happen when good people are too passive, but together we can make a change.
