Human Rights Education Indicator Framework

Human Rights Education Indicator Framework

Key indicators to monitor and assess the implementation
of human rights education and training 
A publication of HRE 2020 - September 2015
 
This resource is a suggested framework of indicators, or measurements, to examine the presence and quality of human rights education policies and practices. It is a tool to support civil society organizations, national human rights institutions and government bodies, as well as United Nations mechanisms (treaty bodies, human rights committees and special procedures) to monitor the implementation of human rights education. The framework aims to support a review of the status of human rights education within:
  • national planning;
  • the formal education sector;
  • the training of law enforcement and military personnel; and
  • the training for civil servants, health workers, social workers, journalists and other professionals. 
It is a means of understanding the scale and quality of such practices and identifying gaps and areas for improvement.
 
The Human Rights Education Indicator Framework is intended to be an inspiration and guide for the review of human rights education within a range of policy and practices. It has a clear, user-friendly structure of key questions, indicators and sub-indicators to provide a comprehensive picture of the status of implementation of human rights education at national level. Only some portions of the framework may be relevant for a particular context. The full document, along with the individual sections, is available for download in the right column on this page. Please refer to the "Introduction" for more details on how to utilize the Framework.
