Human Rights Day #standup4humanrights #libraries4humanrights

Today is Human Rights Day, celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The official United Nations website is at http://www.un.org/en/events/humanrightsday/  You can send in videos of you reading out one of the articles in your own language, and they already have many examples on the website.

IFLA has a briefing about the day for librarians here https://www.ifla.org/publications/node/91729 and also has a poster Libraries for Human Rights which can be downloaded here https://www.ifla.org/publications/node/91729. There are blog posts at  https://blogs.ifla.org/lpa/ focusing on library policy and advocacy for human rights.
