Embrace Diversity, End Discrimination - United Nations Human Rights Project

On this Human Rights Day, people from South-East Asia show how diversity can be a powerful voice against discrimination regardless of language barriers. "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights", says Thai singer and actor Khun Kob. Children, a woman, an elderly couple and a worker, lend their voice to stress the need for opportunities, dignity, respect and equality. They announce an interpretation of the first sentence of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in their own language - Thai, Lao, Tagalog, Malay and English.

This PSA is a UNDP joint initiative with the OHCHR Regional Office for South East Asia. The PSA was produced by Benetone Films; created by Young & Rubicam Thailand and directed by Razneesh Ghai (razy) as a contribution for Human Rights Day in collaboration with Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights and the United Nations Development Programme.

Humans are mostly equal but not entirely, I am not the same as my neighbour, while I give an ample minimum respect to everyone, by how a person conducts themselves will I treat them better or worse.
