Cast studies include: the rights of women, ethnic and national minorities, indigenous peoples and religious communities.
Issues addressed include: FGM, LGBT rights, freedom of speech and the rights of indigenous peoples
Student features include: core questions, suggestions for further reading and two-colour layout
