Human Rights Day being observed today

Human Rights is being celebrated today. The day was adopted in 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly as the universal declaration of human rights

The theme for this year is “Youth Standing Up for Human Rights”. The United Nations aimed at celebrating the potential of youth as constructive agents of change, amplify their voices, and engage a broad range of global audiences in the promotion and protection of rights.

The UN has planned to capitalise on the current momentum and spotlight the leadership role of youth in collective movements as a source of inspiration for a better future.
