New Human Rights Day blog

Today, the 10th December, is International Human Rights Day. It marks the end of the 16 Days of Activism to End Gender Based Violence and it celebrates the anniversary of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The declaration sets out the fundamental human rights that all people are entitled to be protected by and that all people and nations should universally protect. The core values of the UDHR are equality, justice, freedom and dignity. 

This year’s theme is “Our Everyday Essentials” and it is a powerful reminder of how essential human rights are to everyday life in Moray, in wider Scotland and across the globe. The Human Rights Declaration enshrines the right to a safe, just and equal life, and this includes the right to an adequate standard of living (Article 25), which guarantees food, basic needs, and a healthy environment and the right to rest and leisure (Article 24), which allows time for well-being and connection with others.

Everyone has the right to food and basic needs. 

Everyone has the right to safety and community.
