Human Rights, Our Everyday Essentials

Human Rights Day is observed annually around the world on December 10. 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.

People around the world have been sharing what makes up their everyday essentials — the moments, values, and rights that matter most.
