Human Rights Day 2019 - National ...awarenessdays.com

Do you know that …
Human Rights Day is celebrated on 
10th December?

"Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December — the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR): a milestone document proclaiming the inalienable rights which everyone is inherently entitled to as a human being regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Available in more than 500 languages, it is the most translated document in the world."

"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? 

In small places, close to home -- so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. [...] Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. 

Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world." Eleanor Roosevelt

"The diverse and dynamic role of volunteerism in promoting the Sustainable Development Goals merits strong support from Governments and other stakeholders. On this International Day, I thank volunteers for their efforts to leave no one behind."  
UN Secretary-General António Guterres

International Volunteer Day (IVD) mandated by the UN General Assembly, is held each year on 5 December. 

It is viewed as a unique chance for volunteers and organizations to celebrate their efforts, to share their values, and to promote their work among their communities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), United Nations agencies, government authorities and the private sector.

Apart from mobilising thousands of volunteers every year, the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme contributes to peace and development by advocating for the recognition of volunteers and working with partners to integrate volunteerism into development programming.

1st December, World AIDS Day

Do you know that …
"On 1 December each year, World AIDS Day reminds us that the HIV epidemic is not yet over and that HIV and AIDS continue to affect millions of people globally including 1.9 million people living with HIV in the Western Pacific Region. 
Though HIV infection cannot be cured, it can be prevented and treated. 
Some progress has been made towards the targets of fewer than 24 000 new HIV infections, fewer than 15 000 AIDS-related deaths and zero new infections among children in the Western Pacific by 2020 but at the current pace, targets will not be achieved.(…)
