With Merna: The human side of human rights

What do human rights actually mean in everyday life?

At the Forum on Global Human Rights Governance in Beijing, guests from around the world shared their perspectives on a question that affects us all: How can development improve people's lives?

From poverty reduction and education to healthcare, AI and opportunities for future generations, a common theme kept emerging: We need to develop both hearts and minds to build a better world. Human rights begin with improving people's daily lives.
