Today, December 10th, Human Rights Day is celebrated. ✊ The goal of Human Rights Day is to celebrate the rights guaranteed to every person by international #humanrights treaties and to remind us of the responsibilities related to these rights as well as the duty each of us has to promote human rights globally. One of the core missions of the #UnitedNations is to protect and promote the realization of human rights that are strongly embedded in the goals of #sustainabledevelopment. Today, especially, is important to reflect on what human rights mean, what they signify in everyday life and how we can promote human rights in schools, at workplaces, home. 📸 Pexels To find out more about USD project you can visit our website -https://lnkd.in/g92mVidw #USDproject #USDmeeting #Sustainabledevelopment #SGDs #UPO #VIKO #Savonia #OpenODS

🌍 Today is International Human Rights Day! 🌍 This year, I'm especially reminded of the importance of standing up for our shared vision of a just and equitable world. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) calls on us all to create a society where dignity and respect for human rights are the foundation. Article 28 of the UDHR states: "Everyone is entitled to a social and international order in which the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration can be fully realized." This is more than just words—it’s a powerful call to action. It reminds us that human rights depend on the systems we build together. Governments, organizations, and individuals must work to address poverty, ensure access to education, protect vulnerable populations, and create a world that uplifts everyone. As we celebrate Human Rights Day, let’s recognize our interconnectedness and embrace the responsibility we all share to create systems that empower every individual. In the spirit of the day, I also want to highlight the conclusion of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and proudly support the #ITakeMyHatOff campaign to honor those tirelessly fighting for justice and equality. So, here’s my challenge for you: What’s one thing you can do today to make the world more just, equitable, and kind? Let’s build that social and international order—one action at a time. #HumanRightsDay #Article28 #TakeAction #ITakeMyHatOff #StandUp4HumanRights #GlobalJustice #SocialOrder

Human Rights Day 2024: "Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now" Today, on Human Rights Day, we are reminded that the fight for dignity, equality, and justice is not a distant goal but an urgent call to action. This year’s theme, “Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now,” emphasizes the immediate need to protect and uphold human rights for a better tomorrow. As an educator and academic leader, I firmly believe that education is a catalyst for change. Universities serve as spaces where young minds are nurtured to become advocates for justice, equality, and human dignity. Our role as educators extends beyond the classroom — we shape ethical leaders who champion these rights in every sphere of life. On this day, let us recognize that "Right Now" is the time to act. Every conversation, every decision, and every effort we make to promote inclusivity, fairness, and equality creates a better future for all. Human rights cannot wait. Our actions today will define the legacy we leave for future generations. #HumanRightsDay #OurRightsOurFutureRightNow #Justice #Equality #SocialImpact #EducationForAll #SukkurIBA #Mirani

The conduct of #HongKong "education" officials here ranges from Kafka-esque (how loud is loud enough? When does loud enough become too loud? Etc.) through to grotesque. Blatant violations of intl #humanrights guarantees on #childrensrights, the rights of #personswithdisabilities.
