Religion and Human Rights
In a multicultural world the issue of religious
identity and rights must be seriously addressed
when examining the subject of human rights. In
recent years Ireland has undergone a major
transition and has become a multicultural nation
of diverse ethnic and religious communities. As
a predominantly Catholic country with a growing
population of religious minorities, Ireland is
facing the serious challenges of racism,
multiculturalism and integration. This course on
religion and human rights is designed to provide
a meaningful way to address these challenges
from a human rights perspective.
The course is aimed at a broad audience of
university staff and students, those working in
NGO, civil, educational, religious, and community
sectors, as well as the interested public. The
course is designed to encourage participants to
go beyond stereotyping, to support dignity and
respect of religious minorities and to work
towards a more inclusive community.
