Today, human rights are being challenged by various movements that question their usefulness, effectiveness and universality. The links between certain violations of fundamental rights, climate change, the dangers of digital technology and so many other contemporary issues are often misunderstood or even ignored. The NCCHR is convinced of the urgent need to reaffirm that human rights are the foundation of a democratic society. To this end, the members of the NCCHR set out to deconstruct 13 of the most common misconceptions heard or disseminated in the media and on social networks. Through 13 illustrated chapters, each corresponding to a preconceived idea, human rights appear at the heart of our civilization as a current and indispensable reference. Readers are invited to become actively involved in their promotion. This book is a reminder that fundamental rights are not a construct of the past, but a necessary tool for the present. Highlighting the richness of human rights, this book is an invitation to anticipate a common future in which the dignity and freedom of the human person represent an accessible promise. 
Her Atlas: Interactive Advocacy Tool on Girls’ and Women’s Right to Education Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: UNESCO Many girls and women cannot exercise their right to education due to gender inequality and discriminatory practices.

Concrete changes are already apparent. In 2019, 4% of countries were explicitly restricting the right to education of married, pregnant, and parenting girls. This has dropped to 2% in 2022, benefiting millions of girls who can now legally attend school when they marry or become pregnant.
