HUMAN RIGHT DAY; 10TH DECEMBER.
Human Right Day is an annually observed day, decleared by United Nations under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) which is observed by all member nations the world over. The day is set aside to raise awareness of the numerous rights stated in the UDHR which all human are bound to enjoy.
The rights may include among others; rights to: Education, Health, Freedom of speech, Movement, Vote and be voted and right to Freedom of expression etc.
Today, there are challenges confronting human rights issues which are sometimes abused. This calls for raising awareness on the rights to be enjoyed by human. Eg. poverty prevails as the gravest human rights challenge in the world. Combating poverty, deprivation and exclusion is not of charity, and it does not depend on how rich a country is. By tackling poverty as a matter of human rights obligation, the world will have a better chance of abolishing this scourage in our life time. Poverty eradication is an achievable goal.
The day is normally marked both by high- level political conferences and meetings by cultural events and exhibitions, rallys, seminars and workshop dealing with human rights issues all aiming at sensitizing the general public. Many Governmental and Non-GovernmentalOrganization within and outside schedule special events to commemorate the day, as do many civil and social-cause organizations.
Jumali and MDSCF join the civil societies organizations worldwide to observed the day.
