Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now.
Human rights can empower individuals and communities to forge a better tomorrow. By embracing and trusting the full power of human rights as the path to the world we want, we can become more peaceful, equal and sustainable.
This Human Rights Day we focus on how human rights are a pathway to solutions, playing a critical role as a preventative, protective and transformative force for good.
Human rights impact everyone, every day and in this campaign, Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now, we will show the tangible impact of human rights by focusing on relevant global issues, showcasing impact, successes and practical solutions. This continues the forward-looking work of UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk’s vision statement, Human Rights: A Path for Solutions, presented as the wrap up to Human Rights 75, which commemorated the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
This time, we hope to inspire everyone to acknowledge the importance and relevance of human rights, change perceptions by countering negative stereotypes and misconceptions and mobilize action to reinvigorate a global movement for human rights.
Human rights have the power to unify us at a time when we need to come together to contend with the existential challenges we face as humanity.
UN Human Rights Chief, Volker Türk in his vision statement
Human rights play a critical role as a preventive, protective and transformative force in addressing people's greatest concerns.
Human rights are the common thread that binds us all together to foster peace and stability.
Human rights are not abstract ideas. They offer protection, ensuring everyone, everywhere can live in dignity and respect.
Upholding human rights isn’t only about addressing present injustices, it's about reshaping unjust societies and empowering marginalized groups.
