Today marks the end of the 16 days of Activism against gender-based violence. It is also International Human Rights Day! Women’s Rights are Human Rights! This includes the right to be free of discrimination, physical, sexual and psychological harm, threats, coercion, deprivation of liberty, and the right to enjoy the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health; to be educated; to own property; to vote; and to earn equal pay for equal work. This year’s theme for Human Rights Day is 'Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now,' which highlights the impact of human rights on people's lives every day. What we do today can also shape tomorrow!

"Our World Still Cries Out for Justice, Equality, and Inclusion." On this Human Rights Day, let us confront the urgent need for action. Human rights are not just ideals, they are the foundation of a world where everyone can thrive. Yet, the path to this vision has been fraught with misunderstanding. For centuries, power dictated who had rights, creating systems of inequality that persist today. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 was a turning point, declaring that all humans are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Our world desperately needs this promise to be realized. Let’s honor this day by committing to justice, equality, and inclusion for all—because a better world is built on the foundation of human rights. #HumanRightsDay #JusticeForAll #EqualityNow

This year’s theme, “Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now,” reminds us that protecting human rights is not just about the past or the future—it’s about action today.

We are committed to advancing equity, inclusion, and justice while amplifying the voices of women of color in peace and security. We believe that when we protect human rights today, we create a stronger tomorrow.

Human rights are the cornerstone of dignity, equality, and freedom. Yet, for millions worldwide, these fundamental rights remain out of reach. As leaders, organizations, and individuals, we must ask ourselves: 💡 What kind of world are we building? A world where every voice is heard, every life is valued, and every person has the opportunity to thrive. Ensuring human rights requires intentional action and collective effort. Let’s work together to turn principles into progress and ideals into realities.
