This is an important day known as Human Rights Day, celebrated on every December 10th and reminding everyone that all are eligible to receive their rights irrespective of wherever they may be, religion, caste, or gender. History has it that this day has a history way back in the year 1948, when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). This declaration was learned from the tragedies after the Second World War and laid a strong foundation for human rights all over the world.
Many steps have been taken for the protection of human rights in India too, including the establishment of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), which took place on October 12, 1993. Various awareness programs are organized in schools, colleges and society to promote human rights.
The theme for 2024 is “Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now” which focuses on raising the awareness of human rights among children and youth, aiming at reducing inequalities and protecting the weaker sections of society.
Even though it’s 75 years since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights came into effect, there are places that violate these rights on a daily basis. Inequalities, discrimination, climate change, and violation of civil rights in conflict zones continue to happen to this very day. Celebrations on this day do not just mean celebrations but inspire each one of us to work for equality, freedom, and justice in society.
Finally, Human Rights Day tells us that education for the protection of human rights is a matter of importance to everyone and is a concrete step towards the future.
