Awareness of Human Rights helps to reduce all forms of inhuman treatment and exploitation of citizens and strengthen the democratic process in countries. This book aims at creating awareness among teacher-educators to foster the need for inherent equality by consciously keeping away prejudices based on sex, caste, religion and disability while handling teaching learning situations. Of late, human rights are increasingly becoming the subject of concern for legal fraternity, academicians, researchers, policy makers and voluntary organisations. It is said that the awareness of human right is largely limited to the educated sections of society, while ideally it is necessary to create awareness about human rights at all levels.
