Scientology and Human Rights Activities


There is an interesting site called the Church of Scientology International Human Rights Newsroom and Forum. It covers a lot of current human rights stories and gives them a very positive perspective.

On the subject of Human Rights, as a Scientologist I am very proud of what Scientology Volunteer Ministers do to help others with the kinds of issues that blunt or prevent the full exercise of human rights.

Just as an example, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights calls for all people having the right to adequate education. I suppose you could say that the indictment our schools receive in the press, lowered test scores, not to mention increased crime and drug use in schools, show that this human right is seriously lacking, at least in my home country - the USA. Scientology Volunteer Ministers can help kids overcome their study difficulties. They learn to do this by studying the Scientology Handbook, which is online for anyone to use.
