Human Rights Day is celebrated every year on December 10 — the day on which the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.
Did you know that Canada played a central role in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? The Declaration states that each person is entitled to fundamental rights, including the right to equality, and the right to life, liberty and security of the person. It also recognizes the right to freedom of religion and speech and the right to participate in the cultural life of the community. (A post with a blue border and in the middle is a header that says “Human Rights Day” with a background photo of many hands forming a heart.)
