It has been a year like no other for human rights. Human rights activism has never been more topical or more vital. And through the transforming power of social media, ordinary people have become human rights activists.
Human rights belong equally to each of us and bind us together as a global community with the same ideals and values. As a global community we all share a day in common: Human Rights Day on December 10.
On Human Rights Day 2011 we pay tribute to all human rights defenders and ask you to get involved in the global human rights movement.
Join us on Facebook as we countdown to Human Rights Day with a “30 days and 30 rights” discussion on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or follow us on Twitter #CelebrateRights.
