Susan notes: There are 30 articles in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was adopted by the United Nations on December 10, 1948.

Article 1 says: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are  endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a  spirit of brotherhood.”

So far our collective record in abiding by the principles outlined in the Declaration is abysmal. Having it readily available to people worldwide might be one small step toward increasing awareness about our rights and responsibilities toward each other.

Watch the cool video animation below and sign the petition to have the Universal Declaration of Human Rights printed in the passports of all nations here.

Susan notes. I love this latest video from The Girl Effect. It really says it all. The future of the world lies in bettering the lives of girls everywhere.

Susan notes: definitely one of my favourite tunes...

When one woman honors who she is, all women collectively move closer to becoming what they are capable of being.

There are many ways and myriad reasons for women to honor and embrace all that they are.
