HUMAN RIGHTS DAY

10.12.2021

What are Human Rights ?

Human rights are he basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world, from birth until death. They apply regardless of where you are from, what you believe or how you choose to live your life. They can never be taken away, although they can sometimes be restricted – for example if the person breaks the law, or in the interests of national security. These basic rights are based on shared values like dignity, fairness, equality, respect and independence. These values are defined and protected by law.

The Central Province Director Eng. Walisundera and his team organized an event on 10th December 2021 starting from 9.00 am in Kandy City to celebrate the Human Rights Day.

The Members were given a Mug each to keep as a memory of our activities and the public were distributed with leaflets and awareness given to them about their fundamental rights which they are not aware of it. Also we gave a media conference and this was a news item in all the TV Channels of Sri Lanka. We have taken the first valuable step towards educating the public and we are confident that very soon the human rights violations would be reduced to the bottom.
