NO The Right to Say NO by Steven Powe Toolkit for Serving on a Human Rights Committee by Steven Powe (May 2018)

The Human Right to Say NO Everyone needs to learn to say NO If you don’t know how to say NO or you don’t know that it’s OK to say NO, people can take advantage of you Not everyone believes they have the right to say NO Saying NO lets other people know what your boundaries are and what is not OK with you The Right to Say NO A Resource from the Toolkit for Serving on a Human Rights Committee by Steven Powe (May 2018)

Questions about the Right to Say NO Have you ever said NO to anyone? What are some examples of when you said NO? Have you ever been afraid to speak up and say NO? What were you afraid of? Are there people in your life that you almost never say NO to? Why wouldn’t you say NO to them? The Right to Say NO A Resource from the Toolkit for Serving on a Human Rights Committee by Steven Powe (May 2018)

When You Should Say NO If people want you to do something but do not explain it to you – SAY NO! If people do things that make you uncomfortable – SAY NO! If you feel unsafe – SAY NO! If it goes against your values – SAY NO! If it’s against the law – SAY NO! If people are trying to restrict your rights – SAY NO!

Scenario # 1 about Medication on a Human Rights Committee What if a doctor wants to prescribe medication for someone and they have said NO, they won’t take it because it made them feel bad in the past?

Something else to think about What if a person has a one-on-one staff because of a previous incident that happened 2 years ago? This person wants their privacy back and has told their staff ‘NO,’ but the staff are only doing their job. What can the HRC do to ensure that this is the least restrictive solutions to this situation? What are ways this person can get their privacy rights restored?
