📜 Honouring the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) 🤝
Today, December 10th, marks Human Rights Day, commemorating the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948. This groundbreaking document sets out the fundamental rights and freedoms that every single person, regardless of race, background, or status, is entitled to.
Why does this matter to us in Allied Health?
At the core of the UDHR is Article 25, which states: "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care..."
This means that the work we do every day, whether it's providing hands-on treatment, advocating for NDIS funding, or ensuring accessible care pathways, is a practical demonstration of these fundamental human rights.
Let's continue to advocate for a world where these rights are a reality for all!
