Earlier this year, I gave a presentation to my child’s elementary school class on human rights for career day. They had no idea that protecting people’s human rights is work and that you could make a career around helping people live better. I was so excited about how curious they all were, asking provocative questions and sharing their own stories. “Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier. We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just one step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down.” - Eleanor Roosevelt On this Human Rights Day and 75th anniversary of the UN Declaration of Human Rights, I am privileged and proud to be able to continue to do this work each day and in solidarity with all of my colleagues, near and far, who make it their life’s work to improve the wellbeing of people. Thank you Gayathri Unnikrishnan for inviting me to share my thoughts and raising awareness of human rights on Liveable for your December podcast. May this conversation spark some curiosity. #humanrights75 #undhr #businessandhumanrights #humanrights
