LOS ANGELES, Calif., Nov. 30, 2021 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As Human Rights Day 2021 approaches, the Church of Scientology International shares the work of human rights activists featured on the Scientology Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On December 10, 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights whose first article proclaims \u201cAll human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.\u201d More than seven decades later, deep-rooted forms of discrimination persist.<\/p>\n

Mary Shuttleworth, featured in an episode of \u201cVoices for Humanity<\/a>,\u201d founded Youth for Human Rights International<\/a> in 2001 to promote full implementation of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/a> (UDHR). Youth for Human Rights stresses that education is the foundation and catalyst for changing the state of human rights in the world.<\/p>\n

As Human Rights Day 2021 approaches, Youth for Human Rights celebrates a milestone: its 20th anniversary. Youth for Human Rights, the youth component of United for Human Rights, is sponsored by the Church of Scientology in its longstanding tradition of championing freedom for all.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we began Youth for Human Rights International, 90 percent of those surveyed were unable to name more than three of the 30 rights granted by the Declaration,\u201d says Shuttleworth.<\/p>\n

Those who crafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights asserted the importance of human rights education. The preamble calls on \u201cevery individual and every organ of society\u201d to \u201cstrive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms.\u201d<\/p>\n

An educator, Shuttleworth knew the key to change was making the rights enshrined in the UDHR easy to understand. Youth for Human Rights\u2019 educational tools do just that and they engage and interest young people.<\/p>\n

These materials help them understand the 30 principles of the document. For example, the program has been used to reduce bullying, a human rights violation suffered by\u00a0a third of the globe\u2019s youth<\/a>, according to Stopbullying.gov<\/a>, an interagency effort of the U.S.\u00a0Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 1969, Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote, \u201cVery few governments have implemented any part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These governments have not grasped that their very survival depends utterly upon adopting such reforms and thus giving their peoples a cause, a civilization worth supporting, worth their patriotism.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Church of Scientology and Scientologists support\u00a0Youth for Human Rights<\/a>\u00a0and make its educational materials available free of charge. Watch a documentary on\u00a0the history and activities of Youth for Human Rights International<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0\u201cVoices for Humanity<\/a>\u201d\u00a0on the\u00a0Scientology Network<\/a>. Since\u00a0launching with a special episode featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader\u00a0Mr. David Miscavige<\/a>, Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages. Broadcast from\u00a0Scientology Media Productions<\/a>, the Church\u2019s global media center in Los Angeles, the Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320 and can be streamed at\u00a0Scientology.tv<\/a>, on\u00a0mobile apps<\/a>\u00a0and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.<\/p>\n
