Social Media for Human Rights

Join us to mark the first year of our collective efforts to promote human rights through social media. You may find your responses and shares here. It has been a year since the UN Human Rights office first dived into social media. We have learned so much along the way. Thank you for your support!

  4. I can't believe i'm only the second to comment. More people need to see this! This is such an important thing to learn! it should be presented in schools and make children aware! everyone should watch the documentary called :Human Trafficking. It aired on many huge tv channels like CBC, ABC, NBC and many others . People need to start caring!! I would like to help, but I feel there is nothing i can do besides start a stop the traffick club at school, as im only a young girl myself hillysee 1 year ago 29

  10. Happy International Human Rights Day, everyone! No matter who you are, take a moment today to reflect on those who have fought and are still fighting for your rights across the globe. Also, don't ever doubt the power of the individual. Take a stand against discrimination and violations of human rights of any kind in your local community!
  11. It occurred to me one day last week that we might consider the Declaration of Human Rights to be the global Golden Rule, and that, further, it is best implemented by the way we treat one another and the things we teach our children....
  12. Send your one wish from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ( bit.ly/1arHbE) to [email protected] ! We'll post it here for all to see!
