On December 10, 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, affirming that human rights apply to everyone, everywhere. Rights such as freedom of speech, education, and property ownership are foundational, but they are not guaranteed. Every day, these rights are violated—sometimes openly, but often hidden from view, affecting only those directly impacted.
The Human Rights Research Network (HRRN) at Ghent University aims to bring these hidden realities to light. Through this podcast, we invite listeners to explore human rights with a critical and nuanced perspective. Our episodes tackle a wide range of topics, from detention and independent living for people with disabilities to migration and climate justice.
We ask important questions: How have human rights shaped history and how can they guide our future? What connects issues like health, education, and technology to human rights? And most importantly, how do oppressed and marginalized communities experience these rights in their daily lives?
In this podcast, we amplify the voices of those whose rights have been violated, alongside the insights of researchers from Ghent University. Our goal is to make human rights accessible to all—human rights in plain language.

In deze aflevering legt onderzoeker Marjolein De Pau ons uit wat internering precies is. We trekken naar de gevangenis van Gent en maken er kennis met Anthony. Hij heeft een interneringsstatuut. Dankzij hem ontdekken we wat leven in de gevangenis met een mens doet. We praten er ook met Hans van het zorgteam. We ontdekken dat goede zorg niet enkel klinisch is: Het herstel van een geïnterneerde persoon heeft meerdere dimensies. Zo kunnen familie en vrienden ook een rol spelen in het herstelproces. We spreken erover met Dirk, familielid van een geïnterneerde persoon.
In this episode of Oprecht, researcher Marjolein De Pau explains what internment really means. We then visit the prison in Ghent, where we meet Anthony, who is living with an internment status. Through his story, we gain insight into the profound impact life in prison can have on a person. We also speak with Hans from the care team in prison, learning that proper care for people with an internment order goes beyond the clinical aspects. Recovery is multidimensional, family and friends play an essential role in the process. To explore this further, we have a conversation with Dirk, a family member of a person with an internment order that is located in the prison, about the importance of support from loved ones in the recovery journey.
