Yesterday was International Human Rights Day and the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on December 10, 1948, and set out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected. The groundbreaking global pledge aims to protect the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being - regardless of race, color, religion, sex, language, political affiliation, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status. While the Declaration is not technically binding as a matter of international law, it inspired the creation of nine international human rights treaties such as the Convention Against Torture, the Genocide Convention, the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on People with Disabilities, and Women’s Rights, among others. The principles of the UDHR have served as the foundation for an expanding system of human rights protections, needed more today than ever as equality rights face new challenges, such as the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing global conflicts, and the new realities of climate change. This year’s theme is “Freedom, Equality and Justice for All,” and it “seeks to shift the needle of understanding and action towards greater knowledge of the universality of the UDHR and the activism associated with it.” “One Day, I Will” is an inspiring United Nations exhibit documenting the stories of children aged 6-18 years old who are trapped in humanitarian crises across the globe, whether caused by conflict, natural disasters, or the global pandemic and highlights each child’s hope and vision for a better future.

Human Rights Day (December 10th) is an important reminder that the journey to universal human rights is ongoing. As I reflect on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, I feel grateful to the courageous women and men who advocated for this foundational document. It established crucial concepts like equal dignity and justice for all people regardless of identity or status. However, the vision of the Declaration has still not been fully realized around the world. Basic human rights like freedom from discrimination, fair working conditions, and free speech continue to be denied to marginalized communities. Issues like poverty, lack of access to education, and gender inequality persist globally. There is still so much work to be done. Progress takes all of us working together across diverse experiences and beliefs to build connection and achieve the vision outlined decades ago – one of freedom, justice and peace for all people. I believe in that vision and in our collective power to achieve it. Join me in recommitting to advocate for dignity, justice, and equal opportunity in our workplaces and communities.

Today marks the 75th annual Human Rights Day, which was established by the 1948 UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Available in over 500 languages, the UDHR is the most translated document in the world, numerating globally inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being regardless of race, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, ability or any other status. As global human rights are intertwined with the national, state and local causes with which we engage at BCom, let’s take a look at some key points established by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: 🌎 Human rights violations reverberate across borders and generations. 🌎 Efforts anchored in human rights have created better outcomes for women, children, Indigenous populations, incarcerated individuals and more. 🌎 Progress should not result in complacency, as we all have a role to play in protecting and advancing human rights in our communities.

On this #HumanRightsDay and #UDHR75, are we truly living up to the principles of the #udhr? We can't ignore the progress: from greater awareness and activism to advances in child rights, gender equality, and disability rights, there's reason to celebrate. But challenges remain: the #Universality #Inalienability #Indivisibility & #Interdependence of #HumanRights are increasingly threatened. Violations like torture, discrimination, VAWG, VAC, and restrictions on civil and political rights are alarming. #climatechange further threatens our fundamental rights. We must work together to advance #DignityFreedomJustice and #standup4humanrights ! https://lnkd.in/d46CkKeG
