Population on Move: Migration and Human Trafficking

This workshop will point to the population who have been forced to be onroad and have sessions about refugees, asylum seekers, and the people who exposed modern slavery (human trafficking) and their health problems.

Training New Human Rights Trainers (TNHRT) 

Human Rights are fundamental and insatiable for every human being, and basic knowledge is important for all. Possibly, it is even greater importance for future health professionals, as our role will be to help people in difficult situations. Because of that, human rights advocates. Maybe naïve, maybe brave and still an important part of IFMSA. In this workshop, we will discuss the basic principles of human rights and the rights to health. We will also address vulnerable groups, peace and conflicts as well as roles and responsibilities in relation to human rights.The training is based on a peer-to-peer approach with emphasis on interactive exercises, where participants from different countries will share experiences with each other.

ITHRE: International Training on Human Rights Education

The 1993 World Conference on Human Rights emphasized teaching human rights to foster community harmony, understanding, tolerance, and peace. Human Rights Education (HRE) aims to cultivate a culture of respect, fairness, and cooperation, empowering individuals to engage effectively in society and promote gender equality.In line with this, the International Training on Human Rights Education (ITHRE) equips participants with advocacy and educational skills in human rights. This workshop has been updated to meet evolving needs. It’s essential for SCORP members and human rights advocates, offering practical tools to address challenges and uphold SCORP’s Vision & Mission. ITHRE fosters a supportive community of human rights advocates, promoting awareness and commitment to human rights principles. Ultimately, it’s a vital opportunity for individuals dedicated to creating a fair and peaceful world by ensuring widespread understanding and appreciation of human rights.

Human Rights for Medical Practitioners (HRMP)

It stands as a distinctive initiative within the SCORP community, offering an advanced platform aimed at empowering participants in various advocacy realms. Unlike traditional workshops like TNHRT, HRMP goes beyond by fostering capacities in diverse advocacy arenas. With a track record spanning PreGAs, PreRMs, SRTs, and SCORP Camps, HRMP has consistently nurtured emerging leaders, equipping them to champion human rights within clinical settings. However, recognizing persistent inequities and oppressions within Tunisian hospitals and medical faculties, we feel compelled to tailor HRMP towards addressing the rights of vulnerable and marginalized populations, including women, children, the LGBTQIA+ community, and others. Our focus on health equity aims to combat prevalent stereotypes, prejudices, and discrimination. Titled ‘Human Rights for Medical Practitioners: Ethical Principles Concerning Minorities and Vulnerable Populations,’ this workshop aims to empower participants with essential knowledge and skills to advocate for equitable healthcare nationally and internationally. Recognizing the pivotal role of healthcare in societal well-being, we emphasize the importance of protecting individuals and groups from violence and abuse through advocacy techniques. While incorporating informative sessions and interactive discussions characteristic of HRMP, this workshop transcends mere instruction. The graduation assessment adopts a debate format to cultivate critical analysis, structured communication, and the ability to engage with diverse perspectives. By honing these skills, we aim to cultivate a new cadre of effective and passionate advocates for human rights in healthcare and beyond.
