Human Rights Week
International Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December. On this day in 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Every year in December we recognise and celebrate this day through a week of events, connection, and advocacy. We’ve hosted an annual Oration for over twenty years, highlighting human rights issues as they apply to the everyday lives of Victorians.
During Human Rights Week, we invite all Victorians to engage in activities and start and continue conversations about human rights.
Rights in action
In 2021, we encouraged Victorians to participate in a week of action to make rights real – with daily tasks on topics from ableism and ageism to LGBTIQ+ and young people’s rights.
Soon we will release what we are doing for 2022. Watch this space!
