Every December 10 is Human Rights Day. It marks the day in 1948 that the United Nations approved the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The declaration says “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” The document has 30 articles. Each one adds more clarity to the idea of freedom and equality in the first article. The declaration condemns slavery, torture and cruelty. It notes the ideals of security, the right to practice a religion and express ideas freely. There were more than 150,000 tweets using the hashtag #HumanRightsDay on Thursday. Many organizations used the day to express their desire to ensure Human Rights around the world. A number of agencies like UNESCO and UNICEF offered their support, as did people who have become symbols of freedom like Malala Yousafzai and Caitlyn Jenner.
