UN Free Equal: A free and equal world is possible
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. So says Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Or, to put it another way; we all have the same inalienable human rights. You, me, everyone no exceptions. Despite the beautiful promise of the Universal Declaration, the reality of daily life for many of us short. Around the world, people face violence, stigma and discrimination based on the colour of their skin, because they live with a disability, because of their age, because of their gender, because of what they believe, or because they are gay, lesbian, bi, trans or intersex. Enshrined in the Universal Declaration is a deeply held belief that a different world is possible. But its only possible if we all stand together. If each and every one of us insist that our freedom is bound together that no one is free until were all free. A free and equal world is possible. Help us spread the word
