Hi everyone,
December is Universal Human Rights Month – a time to champion the principles of human dignity, freedom, equality, and justice. Stemming from the shadows of World War II, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was established in 1948, serving as a beacon for fundamental rights to be universally upheld.
At its core, human rights are rights inherent to everyone, encompassing freedoms like education, work, and participation in government, irrespective of one's background.
Here are a couple of ways we can participate:
- Educate & Engage: Share an article or fact about human rights within your teams.
- Support: Consider donating (even if it's a small amount) to a human rights organization or supporting ethical brands that champion human rights.
Let's actively commemorate this month, both understanding and advancing the cause of human rights in all we do.
Thank you,
People Team
