10 December 2011
Today on Human Rights Day, we look back on a year of people marching in the streets to end injustice, inequality and tyranny and to demand their fundamental rights and freedoms. In 2011 we witnessed profound historical changes. In large numbers, women, men and young people came together to express their frustrations and opinions. They sought the comfort of camaraderie to voice their dreams and hopes for a better future, and their ideas spread through social media.
