What event does Human Rights Day commemorate?

On December 10, 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) — a document that ensures basic rights for every human being regardless of gender, race, ethnic origin, and other statuses. The drafting of the UDHR was a monumental occasion, and December 10th was deemed Human Rights Day. This holiday celebrates the dignity the UDHR grants us and raises awareness of how people’s rights are violated.

International Human Rights Day promotes equality, peace, justice, and the protection of human rights. It’s important to find ways to honor these values, so we’ve devised 10 ideas for creating events for the day.

Ideas to celebrate International Human Rights Day ;

Many people may not know how to celebrate International Human Rights Day. As an event creator, it’s your job to provide people with ways to commemorate this special day. The following Human Rights Day celebration ideas are engaging, educational, and designed to spark inspiration for activism .

1 Organize powerful performances ;

Performances are an artistic way to convey the meaning of Human Rights Day. Invite local artists to perform pieces centered around pertinent themes. Performances can include poem readings, dance routines, monologues, or skits. CIRCA Pintig hosted a World Human Rights Day event that showcased performances focusing on pressing issues surrounding the topic, such as radical violence, police brutality, and injustice.

2. Host an online conference ;

An online conference allows attendees to listen to one speaker at a time, which increases audience engagement. Not only that, but an online event can reach a wider group of people — think international. Youth for Human Rights International organized an online conference that brought together speakers from all over the world.

To host your own webinar for Human Rights Day, start by reaching out to candidates. Preferably these would be activists, community leaders, authors, or anyone else that can deliver addresses surrounding human rights.
