As we observe this year's Human Rights Day, we highlight Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) stating that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” We call for efforts to reduce inequalities and advance human rights. We call for actions and solutions to eliminate discrimination affecting the most vulnerable people in societies, including women and girls, indigenous peoples, LGBTQIA+, migrants, and people with disabilities, among others. Only with inclusion, equality, and non-discrimination can we achieve sustainable development.
Human Rights Day is observed every year on December 10, commemorating the day when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the UDHR in 1948. The UDHR is a landmark document, which proclaims the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being - regardless of race, color, religion, s*x, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
