Summary:

This is a lesson starter for a KS3 citizenship lesson, examining how women have been affected by the war in Darfur, Sudan. Protecting human dignity is at the heart of humanitarian responses to conflicts and disasters. This clip raises questions about how dignity can be protected in the context of conflict and disasters. The clip features the story of Fatima, a woman whose husband was killed in the war in Sudan. To pay for her children's education she has taken on a physically demanding job as a builder's assistant. She talks about how her life has changed since the war. The clip ends with a discussion starter for students: Fatima is working very hard to protect her family's human dignity. What does the term human dignity mean to you? SOME CONTENT MAY BE UPSETTING.
