 Adopted in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights establishes the equal dignity and worth of every person. Its principles are as relevant now as they were then. We have the right to speak up, to participate in decision-making, to an education and a decent life. Our shared humanity is rooted in these values. Societies which uphold human rights are fairer, more prosperous and more peaceful. Over the past 70 years, the Declaration has helped countless people gain greater freedom and equality. The dignity of millions has been uplifted and untold human suffering prevented. But its promise is yet to be fully realized. Today many of us are fearful about the way the world is heading. Human values are under attack, inequality, poverty, racism, conflicts, climate change. We must draw a line and stand up for our rights and those of others, wherever we are, at school, at work or on social media. We can all make a difference. Every day, everywhere, stand up for human rights and our shared humanity.
