The UK  signed the European Convention on Human Rights, which covers both human rights and civil liberties, and it is part of our law.  But  how are they different? 
Alma-Constance and Lucinda talk to Shami Chakrabarti CBE, PC who sits in the House of Lords and is a human rights activist. She tells us:

·      how civil liberties and human rights work to protect us all

·      how the rule of law relates to civil liberties and human rights

·      Shami’s work to protect children's rights and why the voting age should be 16 years old

·      why diversity and inclusion is  important in the area of civil liberties and human rights

When Shami was 10 years old she cared a lot about injustice and liked talking to her parents about politics. She liked to read, debate and enjoyed playing musical instruments.
