The world has just celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights -- a document that is much more than a cornerstone of international law; it is a guide to navigate a deeply divided world, a set of values that everyone can live by, and ultimately a force for good.   And yet, we know that "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights" represents a promise not yet fulfilled for LGBTIQ people across the world, and for everyone experiencing the suffocating impact on their lives of diverse layers of inequalities.   This year's IDAHOBIT theme is a call for unity: only through solidarity for each other will we create a world without injustice, where no one is left behind.   #ciscopride #wearecisco #IDAHOBIT #IDAHOBIT2024 #InclusiveFuture #BeYouWithUs #Purpose

Happy Friday, good people! Years have passed, but the question remains: Are you still doing the work? The journey towards equality requires sustained effort. As we remember the anniversaries of the movements sparked by injustice, let's not lose momentum. Continue to support diversity, create inclusive spaces, and challenge the comfort of the status quo. #SocialJustice #RacialEquality #ChangeMakers #DiversityAndInclusion

The destructive impact of injustice on the very fabric of our societies cannot be overstated. Now, more than ever, it is crucial for us to stand united against injustice. Let us champion diversity, equity, and inclusion in our workplaces and communities. Remember, the strength of a nation lies in the unity of its people. Together, we can build a future where fairness and equality prevail, ensuring a thriving and harmonious society for generations to come. #Injustice #Equality #Unity #SocialJustice #ChangeMakers #GlobalImpact

#WECinspires When we talk about equality, we often think it means everyone should receive the exact same resources and opportunities. But this approach doesn’t account for the different starting points we all have in life. Giving the same thing to everyone doesn't necessarily provide the same chance for success. Listen to the words of wisdom from Kerry Washington, American actress and activist: true equity is about understanding and addressing individual needs. It’s about recognizing that people require different resources, opportunities, and support to reach their full potential. Equity means taking the time to listen, being present, and having the patience to understand each person’s unique situation. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. It requires us to be aware, vulnerable, and dedicated to making sure everyone has the right "box" they need to thrive. Let’s strive for equity, ensuring that we create a society where everyone has the tools and support they need to succeed 🌟 #WEC #WomensEmpowerment #Equity #Equality #SocialJustice #Inspiration #CivicJustice #FairnessForAll #InspirationOfTheDay

"Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law." - United Nations General Assembly Did you know that every human on this planet has basic rights called "Human Rights"? Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that: "We are all born free and equal in dignity and rights". Every last one of us. On the 10th of December 1948 (75 years ago), the United Nations General Assembly got together and drafted this incredible document which states all of our recognised human rights. Celebrate today with us as recognise and acknowledge the humanity of every individual on this planet. #sustainableliving #Sustainability #ThrivabiltyMatters #THRIVEProject #THRIVEFramework #internationalhumanrights #humanrights #equality #equalityforall #equalitymatters #racism

Rich and insightful discussions at #PhileaForum2024 Few highlights: 🎤 Keynote by Rutger Bregman Awareness = overrated Ingredients of moral ambition 1. a new definition of « success » - need to claim a different ladder 2. Focus on maximum impact - more is more (you get to count) / Winning is a moral duty in the fight against injustice 3. Relentless prioritizing - resources are limited, ITN framework (focus on important, neglected and tractable problems to find moral ambitious) #Moralambition is an infectious mindset not a character trait 💬 Unearthing the roots of democratic decline organised by Elisa Peter and the #Democracy network with concreate examples and lessons learned from across Europe and a compelling #calltoaction by Beadie Finzi 🔎 Safeguarding democratic values with the #Gender #Equality network connecting the topics of climate, anti-racism, migration and gender, all directly attacked by the anti-rights movement #phileaforum2024 #trust #philanthropy #gent Philea - Philanthropy Europe Association

As the focus for #RaceEqualityWeek this year is #ListenActChange, we are sharing some of the listening, action, and changes that Corra has made to become a more equitable place to work. Whilst we have made changes, there is much more we can do to further racial equity in the workplace - we are committed to being an anti-racist organisation and report on our progress.

It is disheartening in 2024 to hear statements like the one made by Frank Hestor regarding Diane Abbott. Simply having a person of colour in a position of authority does not erase the existence of racism. We must acknowledge that racism persists, even in spaces where diversity is present. My heart goes out to Diane Abbott and others who have faced similar attacks based on their race and gender. This is not an isolated experience, and it highlights the ongoing need for systemic change and accountability. Instead of denying the existence of racism, we need to channel our energy into taking proactive, positive steps to address and put a STOP to it. It is more than long overdue, and we all have a role to play in creating a more equitable and inclusive society. #EndRacism #DiversityMatters #InclusionIsKey

Today, we stand united in the fight against racial discrimination. Let's celebrate our diverse cultures, embrace inclusivity, and work together to create a world free from prejudice. This year’s theme, “A Decade of Recognition, Justice, and Development: Implementation of the International Decade for People of African Descent”, recognizes that people of African descent represent a distinct group whose human rights must be promoted and protected. Ongoing racial prejudice and the enduring impacts of slavery and colonial rule continue to influence people around the world, making it imperative for us to collaborate in advancing acknowledgment, equality, and progress for individuals of African heritage globally. #EliminateRacialDiscrimination #DiversityandInclusion #FightRacism #Equality #AntiRacism
