UN International Human Rights Day takes place annually on December 10th. The aim of the day is to promote awareness of human rights and advocate for their fulfilment and enjoyment by all. This year’s slogan ‘My Voice Counts’ emphasises how important it is to hear the voices and respect the rights of marginalised and vulnerable groups. While December 10 is naturally marked with different events and happenings that are all well documented, the days around it also contain a plethora of exciting events.
Bearing this in mind, FLAC created a dedicated pop-up site (www.humanrightsweek.com/) that gathered together all the events and campaigns taking place during Human Rights Week 2012. The wide variety of events only serves to highlight how vibrant the Irish human rights community is.
