Shine Your Light for Human Rights
Leading up to the 10th December 2018 – the actual date of the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration – OHCHR is launching a month of activation, across the world’s regions, to spotlight the centrality of rights to the daily lives of people everywhere. Our aim is to engage diverse audiences around the world, calling on them to #Stand Up for the Declaration’s enduring universal principles.
This month of “activation” starts mid-November and will carry through to the final major event to be held in Geneva with the High Commissioner on 13th December. Each event will be accompanied by a social media campaign featuring global and local iconic public figures standing up for human rights and accompanied by a media promotion of each of the Declaration’s thirty articles.
Very much appreciating the wide range of activities our Offices and partners around the world are undertaking for 10th December, the core of the month’s activities centers on 14 spotlight events to take place across seven time zones, from the global South East to the global South West via the Global North too. Each event is distinct, being tied to a specific theme of relevance to the event’s location and priorities identified in the OMP but all are designed to share a common emphasis on highlighting how human rights contribute and celebrating those who stand up.
