Human Rights

12/9/2020

0 Comments

 

In 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The adoption of this document is now observed every December 10, commonly known as Human Rights Day.

Typically, those who experience discrimination belong to the targeted group of one or more of the following groups -- age, disability, sexual orientation, status as a parent, religion, national origin, pregnancy, sexual harassment, and race, color, and sex.

There are eight ways that a individual may use to fight and prevent discrimination.
  • Learning, recognizing, assessing, and understanding your own privilege is the first way to prevent discrimination.
  • Examining your own biases and considering where they may have originated will help you understand your own implicit bias.
  • Practice empathy through validation of experiences and feelings of all discriminated groups.
  • Challenge the “colorblind” ideology!
  • Call out discriminatory “jokes” and statements.
  • Research and uncover how your company or school accommodates and expands opportunities for these discriminated groups.
  • Be thoughtful and resourceful with your finances.
  • Lastly, adopt an intersectional approach in all aspects of your life.

Here are some resources to help fight for human rights and against discrimination!
