Today is Human Rights Day, December 10th, 2024, a day to honor the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted by the United Nations in 1948. This historic document established the fundamental rights and freedoms that belong to every individual, regardless of race, gender, nationality, or belief. As we reflect on these rights, I believe all people should have access to: • Quality healthcare • A safe and stable place to live • Nutritious food • Clean water, free from contamination • The right to live without fear • The protection of a fair and impartial trial Human Rights Day reminds us to advocate for justice, equity, and dignity for all. The fight for these rights is ongoing, and together, we can make a difference. Let’s stand together to protect these rights, hold governments accountable, and ensure that no one is left behind. Join me in this call for justice, compassion, and equity for all. Information about Human Rights Day: • Human Rights Day is observed every year on December 10th to honor the UN’s adoption of the UDHR. • The UDHR, a landmark declaration, includes 30 articles outlining civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights. • Themes vary each year, often highlighting global challenges such as inequality, freedom of speech, or climate justice.
