THE RIGHT TO SEEK A SAFE PLACE TO LIVE

If we are frightened of being badly treated in our own country, we all have the right to run away to another country to be safe.
Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Article14: (1) Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution. (2) This right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes or from acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.

APPEAL: PUBLICIZE AN ARTICLE PER DAY
Editors, program hosts, journalists:
Read an article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights every day. By doing so, you will greatly contribute to the awareness-raising and education on human rights and freedoms. Knowing human rights is the first step towards their respect, and of the fight against discrimination. Help people gain knowledge and restore their confidence and dignity.
With only a few seconds/lines per day, you achieve a lot.
