Together we are powerful
All of us want the same things: time with our loved ones, a safe place to live and a bright future for our children. This is only possible when governments provide equal rights to everyone.
In 1948, the United Nations agreed to adopt the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which affirms that all humans have fundamental rights, whatever their beliefs, social origins, sex or other status.
Unfortunately we still see people being arrested and unfairly trialed everyday, we still see people "disappearing" because of their beliefs, and we still see people getting murdered because they exercise their freedom of speech.
But together we can change oppressive laws, bring criminals to justice and free people who are persecuted or marginalised.
