Celebrate Human Rights Day with UniSA Library
December 10 2024
Join us on 10 December as we commemorate Human Rights Day, marking the 1948 adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by the United Nations General Assembly.
The UDHR is a landmark document affirming the inalienable rights of every individual—regardless of race, colour, religion, gender, language, or background. It upholds principles of equality, dignity, and worth that remain as relevant today as ever.
This day encourages us to stand up for our rights and advocate for those of others, inspiring reflections on how we can work towards a more just and equitable society.
Celebrate and support the principles that empower us all. Explore the resources and community events below to learn more about the significance of human rights and how we can contribute to upholding these universal values.
