LIGHT A CANDLE AS A SIGN OF STRUGGLE

Social


The “Amnesty international” has issued a message on Human Rights Day which runs in part;


"Every human has rights. That is the essence of our humanity. It places on each of us the duty to stand up, not just for our own rights but also for those of others - and to help turn the vision of the UDHR into a reality. That is the spirit of international solidarity. That is the true meaning of universal, indivisible human rights.


Light a candle, or a sparkler, or a torch, or a lantern, or a glow-stick!


On this significant anniversary, people will be gathering together in hundreds of places all over the globe, to light a candle, fire or flame as part of a mass demonstration. On Human Rights Day, stand up for human rights and show your solidarity with people all over the world who are committed to making human rights a reality for everyone.


However you choose to ‘Fire Up!’, whether it’s just you, or with your family or friends, send us your ‘Fire Up!’ photograph and show your support for human rights!"
