      December Is the Universal Month for Human Rights

      by ArapahoeTim December 10, 2022


      December 10 is Human Rights Day. In 1948, on December 10, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Across the world people are encouraged to come together and stand up for equality, equity, inclusivity, justice and the dignity of all human beings. 

      December is the Universal Month for Human Rights; however, every day of every month we can do our part to make the world a better place for others, and can experience others making the world a better place for us. It can happen, if we let it. 


      What can you do to celebrate human rights?

      Here are some ideas to get you started:

      • Read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, opens a new window. 
      • Read this child-friendly version, opens a new window of the Declaration of Human Rights to your children, grandchildren or students. 
      • Check out a book about human rights.
      • Go out of your way to treat everyone with respect, kindness, equity and equality.
      • Spread the word about why human rights for everyone are so important
