🌍 Celebrating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 🌍 75 years ago, on December 10, 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)—a monumental document affirming that every person, everywhere, is entitled to fundamental rights and freedoms. This declaration was a response to the horrors of war and a collective call for justice, equality, and dignity for all. What does the UDHR mean for us today? It is a reminder that: ✨ Freedom and dignity are universal, not privileges. ✨ Equality transcends borders, gender, race, and religion. ✨ Human rights are the foundation for peace and sustainable development. As Tbilisi Shelter City, we work tirelessly to uphold these values. We provide safe spaces, rehabilitation, and support to human rights defenders who risk everything to protect the rights of others. But the fight isn’t over. In many parts of the world, these rights are under threat. On this Human Rights Day, let’s come together to ensure that the principles of the UDHR remain alive and relevant for future generations. 🌟 Take Action: Share this message to raise awareness. Stand in solidarity with human rights defenders. Support organizations that protect and promote human rights. 🔗 Learn more about our mission: www.shelter.ge 📢 Let’s build a world where human rights are respected, protected, and celebrated by all! #HumanRightsDay #UDHR75 #StandUp4HumanRights #TbilisiShelterCity
