The Universal Declaration of Human Rights: A New Lens for the LGBTQ+ Movement

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is rarely used by the LGBTQ+ community in the U.S. as a platform from which to advance their rights.  Join queering human rights expert and Chair of ReportOUT, Drew Dalton, as he walks us though a UDHR primer.

We will cover:

• The history and development of human rights ideology

• The role of United States leaders in the formulation of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

• The differences between civil right and human rights

• The reality of LGBTQ+ human rights and how adopting this lens can make a difference in the US and globally.
