Screening of ‘A Path to Dignity’ at Harvard Kennedy School

The documentary film A Path to Dignity will be screened at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University on Friday, 22 February. A Path to Dignity: The Power of Human Rights Education is a 28-minute movie that presents three stories illustrating the impact of human rights education respectively on school children (India), law enforcement agencies (Australia) and women victims of violence (Turkey).
