On 10 December every year, a colourful community of human rights advocates and supporters gathers in Sydney to celebrate Human Rights Day.
Would you show your support for important human rights issues again this year by joining us on 10 December for the annual Human Rights Awards?
These awards acknowledge the dedication and commitment to social justice by a great many people from all walks of life: community advocates, lawyers, journalists, young people, authors, business people and more.
The awards night is also a great opportunity for you to meet and mingle with people who protect and advance human rights in Australia.
It’s a fun night for a good cause. Human Rights Day on 10 December commemorates the date on which the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, proclaiming its principles as the “common standard of achievement for all peoples”.
As the UN notes, it is as important now as it has been at any time, to declare your membership of and support for the international human rights community. This is especially true at a time of daunting human rights challenges such as the detention of children in immigration centres and the continuing inequality experienced by Australia’s first peoples.
And as our always incisive MC, Craig Reucassel points out, tickets are now available on the internet thingy. Which means the 2014 Human Rights Awards will have a very modern, Iphone6+ kind of feel.
Please join us. Buy your tickets today at https://hrawards.humanrights.gov.au/ticket-order-form
