Equity - Today is Human Rights Day. This day marks the anniversary of December 10, 1948, when the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—a document that, for the first time, set out fundamental rights and freedoms to be protected for all people everywhere. The Declaration reminds us that everyone is born free and equal in dignity and rights. Many of the rights we consider normal today exist because of this Declaration. Let’s take a moment to reflect on the importance of protecting human rights for all.
