“It is our duty to educate everyone about Human Rights. Humanity finds meaningful execution only when you introduce people to Human Rights. If you want to be today’s ‘lady with the lamp’, try teaching people the right usage of Human Rights”, added the songbird.
This day, December 10, is observed every year as Human Rights Day to commemorate the adoption of Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 December 1948. The principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights laid the foundations for the promotion, protection and fulfilment of human rights worldwide.
“We often witness Human Rights Violations around us. Sometimes these violations are so deeply embedded in the society that we fail to recognize them. I urge everyone to stand up for the Human Rights and raise voice against violations, no matter how trivial they are”, she added.
“We should also organize ourselves together to publicly lobby for a better leadership, better laws and greater respect for human dignity in the society. Wherever we are, we can make a real difference. In the street, in school, at work, in public transport; in the voting booth, on social media, at home and on the sports field”, she further added.
