Join us as we commemorate #Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, a pivotal moment in American history that embraces a commitment to equality for all. This day not only honours the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States but also serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for racial equity and social justice. While Juneteenth is rooted in American history, its principles resonate universally and are relevant to all who value democracy, citizenship, and self-determination. Here's what Juneteenth stands for: Democracy - Celebrating the fundamental right of all individuals to be free. Citizenship - Emphasizing access to basic civil liberties, including the ability to participate in the democratic process. Self-Determination - Affirming a person's ability to have agency over their own life. We invite our friends across the pond and everyone around the world to join us in recognising and celebrating Juneteenth. Let’s come together to honour the past and work towards a future where equality and justice are realities for all. #RideForFreedom #EndModernSlavery #freedomday #freedom #happyjuneteenth #futureequality #commitmenttoequality #socialjustice #stopexploitation

Award-winning Human Rights Activist | Youth Advocate | Public Speaker | Ambassador at The Prince's Trust & One Young World
Humanity Highlights: What Are Human Rights? - An Overview I’m excited to kick off my new weekly series, 𝙃𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙃𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨, where we dive deep into human rights and activism. There’s no better place to start than the beginning: 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝑯𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔? Human rights are the fundamental rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world, from birth until death. These rights are based on values like dignity, fairness, equality, respect, and independence. They are universal, meaning they apply to everyone, everywhere, regardless of nationality, gender, ethnicity, religion, or any other status. But how did these rights come to be recognized? 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 - 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 1. Magna Carta (1215): Often cited as one of the first steps towards the concept of human rights. It established the principle that everyone, including the king, was subject to the law. 2. The Declaration of Independence (1776): Asserted the inalienable rights of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." 3. Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948): Adopted by the United Nations, it set out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected. 4. The Civil Rights Movement (1950s-1960s): In the United States, it fought for the end of racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans. 5. International Human Rights Treaties: Various treaties, such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), continue to expand and enforce human rights globally. 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕? Understanding the history and foundation of human rights is crucial because it highlights the ongoing struggle and progress towards ensuring dignity and equality for all. It's a reminder that the fight for human rights is far from over, and each of us has a role to play in advocating for and protecting these rights. ʟᴇꜱꜱᴏɴ: Human rights are the cornerstone of a just and equitable society so we need to celebrate these milestones and continue to fight for the rights and freedoms of all individuals. Ps: Repost if you find this useful so others can find it useful as well ♻️ #HumanityHighlights #HumanRights #SocialJustice #Equality #Activism

🌍 Consider This: Insights in Human Rights Articles #2 Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion; this right includes freedom to change their religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest their religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance. Reflect on this: - What does it mean to have your human rights respected? - How do these rights shape our society and future? - How do you see this right being upheld or challenged in your environment? - What steps can we take to ensure this freedom for all? Let's work together to advocate for these rights within our communities and workplaces. #HumanRights #UN #Equality #Justice #Awareness #GlobalRights #OutlookAustralia
