Child labor is a major human rights concern, with an estimated 152 million young people worldwide engaged in this practice. The majority of these incidents occur in the Majority World.

Democracy, for a person with a disability, should mean equal opportunity, inclusion, and accessibility in all aspects of civic life. It involves having the ability to participate fully in the political process, express their opinions, and access resources and services without discrimination. Additionally, it should ensure that policies and decisions consider the unique needs and perspectives of individuals with disabilities, promoting a more just and inclusive society. This year’s theme for the International Day of Democracy, “Empowering the next generation,” focuses on young people’s essential role in advancing democracy and ensuring that their voices are included in the decisions that have a profound impact on their world especially persons with disability who are more vulnerable. #democracy #democracymatters #democracyday #leavenoonebehind #nothingaboutuswithoutus

Why should any family, including those with two dads, face discrimination during such critical moments of welcoming a new life? Every child deserves protection and care from their first breath.

🕊️ On Human Rights Day, let's champion Freedom, Equality, and Justice for All. 🌍 Reflecting on vulnerability, let's recognise some here: 1. **Refugees:** Facing displacement and persecution, often deprived of basic rights. 2. **Children:** Vulnerable to exploitation, violence, and limited access to education. 3. **LGBTIQA+:** Including trans and gender-diverse individuals facing discrimination and marginalisation. 4. **Indigenous Peoples:** Facing historical injustices, land dispossession, and cultural marginalisation. 5. **Persons with Disabilities:** Battling discrimination and barriers to accessibility. 6. **Elderly Population:** Often facing neglect, abuse, and limited resources for well-being. 7. **Individuals with Mental Health Challenges:** Battling stigma, limited access to care, and discrimination. 8. **Those Affected by Substance Abuse:** Confronting stigma, limited support, and barriers to recovery. 9. **Suicide Prevention Advocates:** Striving to break the silence and promote mental well-being. 10. **Sex Workers:** Navigating legal and social challenges, facing stigma, violence and self advocating for their rights. 🌈 In honoring those who face heightened challenges, I dedicated my morning drawing to the resilience of "those ladies of the night," acknowledging their strength and calling for compassion and understanding. 👊 Together, let's work towards a world where every individual's rights are protected and celebrated. #HumanRightsForAll ✊ #HumanRightsday

I am encouraged to see a ballot option that values education, listening to others, appreciating differences, uniting communities, and protecting reproductive rights, health care affordability, and universal background checks. It's essential to support free school meals, student safety, bodily autonomy, and non-discrimination in all things, including based on who you love. Kindness and understanding should prevail in our world. Embracing #diversity, promoting listening, and fostering curiosity about each other should be our "norm" (and happens to be part of VISIONS, Inc's vision). Belief in equality is fundamental. Let's elect candidates who champion equality and human rights. By uniting in November, we can advance individual and human rights, while we safeguard #democracy. #Equality #HumanRights #Election2024

National Director of Disability Without Poverty | CEO of DEEN Support Services | Motivational Speaker | Systems Disruptor | Social Entrepreneur | Speaking Truth to Power
These days are all about commemorations and celebrations. December 3rd marked the International Day of People with Disabilities #IDPD as proclaimed by the United Nations in 1992. December 6 is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. The 75th anniversary of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights #UDHR is coming up on December 10th. We have advanced many rights for humanity in principle. However, the reality looks very different. There is so much work to do still. Though there is always hope in difficult times for humanity. #truthandreconciliation #disabilityjustice #humanrights #womensrights

The universal adult franchise is a fundamental principle in democratic societies, embodying the idea that every adult citizen, regardless of their gender, race, socioeconomic status, or other factors, has the equal right to participate in the electoral process by casting their vote. This principle is the cornerstone of representative democracy, ensuring that the government is accountable to the entire citizenry. Universal adult franchise promotes social equality, inclusion, and the protection of individual rights. It is a powerful tool for giving a voice to marginalized and underrepresented communities, fostering political engagement, and upholding the principles of fairness and justice in the democratic decision-making process. In a world where inclusivity and democracy are valued, universal adult franchise remains a cornerstone of free and equitable societies, where the will of the people is at the heart of governance. #righttovote #righttoeducation #eazilylearnwithasmile
