December 10th is Human Rights Day
Join the Metuchen Human Relations Commission in recognizing Human Rights Day.
Human Rights Day is observed annually around the world on 10 December. It commemorates the anniversary of one of the world's most groundbreaking global pledges: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). This landmark document enshrines the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being - regardless of race, color, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
This year's theme: Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now.
PREVENT: By defending human rights, we can prevent harm before it happens. Human rights are the common thread that binds us all together to foster peace and stability.
PROTECT: By protecting human rights, we protect our future.
Human rights are not abstract ideas. They offer protection, ensuring everyone, everywhere can live in dignity and respect.
![Human Rights Belong to all of us. Don't let anyone take them away.]()
TRANSFORM: By advancing human rights, we create a fairer world. Upholding human rights isn’t only about addressing present injustices, it's about reshaping unjust societies and empowering marginalized groups.
