The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) is launching a month-long campaign “Act for Rights Now!” dedicated to Human Rights Day 2023.
Set to kickstart in November and extend through December 2023, the campaign will unite diverse stakeholders, including representatives from the Georgian Government, Parliament, civil society, the private sector, international organizations, diplomatic missions, and donor agencies, such as the European Union and the embassies of Germany, Norway, and Sweden.
The events will feature collaborative initiatives, discussions, and activities that promote awareness, understanding, and engagement on human rights issues. By bringing together key stakeholders, UNDP seeks to foster a collective commitment to upholding human rights as a fundamental cornerstone of sustainable development.
This year’s Human Rights Day celebrates the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and spotlights the remarkable impact of this foundational document on countries, people, and communities worldwide.
Douglas Webb, UNDP Resident Representative a.i. in Georgia, highlighted, “The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a global blueprint for shaping a more equitable world, where the rights of every person are safeguarded, and societies are built upon the principles of equality, inclusion, and dignity. UNDP is committed to making this vision a reality, both in Georgia and across the globe.”
