“

Home should be where our basic human rights are embraced. Yet, even in the 21st century my people still advocate for these basic rights, for a nation where every heart feels the warmth of respect and freedom.
Joy Sunday

“

I am not running away anymore from my past, as shadowy as it may be. I am growing back together into a person with a history and a soul. I choose to accept my life with love.
Laurent Ziegler

“

If each of us thinks of human rights every day of our lives, maybe this world will become a better place to live without - wars and conflicts, climate injustices and weapons of mass destruction.
Aigerim Seitenova

“

Living as LGBTQI+ involves more than just a sexual orientation or lifestyle. It involves an ethos, which is a shared way of life that allows us to create ourselves, acknowledge each other, and relate to our cultures.
Laur-Mihai Amanolesei

“

The world may have abandoned those trapped in carceral spaces and war zones, but they will not leave us alone. They will linger in our shadows, rattling our foundations and perceptions, for as long as even an iota of humanity holds on.
Dr. Hyab Yohannes

“

Young people are watching closely; institutions stay credible only if political leaders are truly accountable for human rights.
Markus Wane

“

Young people, especially young women and girls, are on the frontlines leading efforts to defend human rights. All human rights defenders must be protected.

The one most important reason we are fighting for climate action is human rights. If we don't stop the global temperature rise, it will tragically undermine our ability to tackle other crises, it will reverse societal achievements and ultimately lead to unprecedented human suffering. We can still change this. There are solutions and they can be implemented.
