In a world assaulted daily by news of human trafficking, war, genocide, ecological catastrophes, poverty and famine, there can be little doubt of the need for the full implementation of the UDHR everywhere.<\/p>\n
In his Human Rights Day Message, UN Secretary-General\u00a0Ant\u00f3nio Guterres urged \u201cMember States, civil society, the private sector and others to put human rights at the heart of efforts to reverse today\u2019s damaging trends.\u201d He further pointed out that \u201cHuman rights are the foundation for human dignity \u2026 They reflect the most fundamental thing we share — our common humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since its earlier days, the Church of Scientology has championed human rights.\u00a0The Creed of the Church of Scientology<\/a>\u00a0begins with the belief \u201cThat all men of whatever race, color or creed were created with equal rights.\u201d And the\u00a0Code of a Scientologist<\/a>\u00a0includes the commitment\u00a0\u201cTo support true humanitarian endeavors in the fields of human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n In the preamble to the UDHR, the United Nations called upon all member countries to publicize its text and \u201cto cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories.\u201d<\/p>\n Creating a world where human rights are known and protected starts with effective educational programs that reach across all cultural and geographic boundaries.<\/p>\n United for Human Rights<\/a>\u00a0and its program for young people,\u00a0Youth for Human Rights International<\/a>\u00a0are dedicated to this task.<\/p>\n These campaigns make the articles of the UDHR easy to understand and apply to one\u2019s life with materials that bring each of the 30 human rights to life. Youth for Human Rights has a\u00a0free online course for children<\/a>. And United for Human Rights has a free\u00a0online course<\/a>\u00a0for high school and university students.<\/p>\n Scientology Churches hold seminars, conferences and open house events to raise awareness of the UDHR and engage their communities in programs to promote its full implementation.<\/p>\n Through the support of the Church of Scientology and Scientologists, these\u00a0educational materials are available free of charge to anyone wishing to use them to educate others on human rights.<\/p>\n Human rights advocates, teachers and community leaders find Youth for Human Rights International and United for Human Rights online and adopt the programs, using them to create tremendous impact in their areas.<\/p>\n From\u00a0the Gambia<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0India<\/a>\u00a0and from\u00a0Guatemala<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0Taiwan<\/a>, these programs change lives. The impact of these advocates and\u00a0the history and activities of the campaigns<\/a>\u00a0are documented in episodes of\u00a0Voices for Humanity<\/em><\/a>, an original series\u00a0on the\u00a0Scientology Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n Since the Scientology Network launched with a special episode featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader\u00a0Mr. David Miscavige<\/a>, these episodes have 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 LEARN MORE:<\/strong><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.scientologynews.org\/press-releases\/<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.scientology.tv\/series\/voices-for-humanity\/<\/a><\/p>\n MULTIMEDIA:<\/strong><\/p>\n
