Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December - the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
The UDHR proclaims the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being - regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
This year’s theme is, Dignity, Freedom, and Justice for All.
As the world faces challenges new and ongoing, the fight for rights and equality ever ends. We all have a role to play. We can support and learn from others in our efforts to realise greater freedom and equality for all.
