Human Rights Day 2021 is celebrated every year on 10 December. Every person living on earth has a fundamental right which they must be aware of. The United Nations, along with the ruling government in any member country, plays a huge role in educating the people about their basic rights. Celebrated on 10th December since the year 1948, here is all you need to know about the history, significance and theme of Human Rights Day 2021.
Human Rights Day: History and Significance
In 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The UDHR is a landmark document that declares the rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being, regardless of their race, colour, religion, gender, language, political, national, origin and birth.
The Manifesto is the most translated document in the world, available in more than 500 languages. Human rights are at the heart of the Sustainable Development Goals, which means that in the absence of human dignity, we cannot hope for sustainable development.
The United Nations believes that 10 December is an opportunity to reaffirm the importance of human rights in rebuilding the world we want to live in, the need for global solidarity as well as our mutuality and shared humanity.
Human Rights Day 2021: Theme
The theme of Human Rights Day 2021 is to reduce inequalities and advance human rights. This year’s theme is related to ‘equality’ and Article 1 of the UDHR which states that ‘all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights’. The principles of equality and non-discrimination are at the heart of human rights.
The United Nations’ approach set out in the document includes addressing and finding solutions to discrimination affecting many people in society. Equality, inclusion and non-discrimination – a human rights based approach to development is the single best way to reduce inequality.
