Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights says :
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood .
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is our universal guide to protect and promote human rights and to combat any form of discrimination against anyone, everywhere.
Unfortunately, human rights violations and discrimination happen everyday, everywhere in the world; the situation has even been aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic. They reflect a multifaceted reality from women’s rights and violence against women and girls, attacks on media and human rights defenders, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity but also inequalities in terms of access to decent work, housing and a clean environment, threats to our fundamental rights online or simply, the right to health.
