What are human rights?
Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, s*x, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion or any other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more.
Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights
UDHR is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III) as a common standard of achievements for all people and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected.

According to the data we gathered from International Labour Organization:
There are 50 million people in situations of modern slavery on any given day, either forced to work against their will or in a marriage that they were forced into. This number translates to nearly one of every 150 people in the world.

Forced Labour:
👉 27.6 million people in situations of forced labour on any given day. Women and girls make up 11.8 million of the total.

👉 An increase of 2.7 million in the number of people in forced labour between 2016 and 2021.

When we look at the regional numbers on forced labour:
👉15.1 million in Asia and the Pacific, followed by Europe and Central Asia (4.1 million), Africa (3.8 million), the Americas (3.6 million) and the Arab States (0.9 million). Even though the lowest number is in the Arab States, when forced labour is expressed as a proportion of the population, the highest is in the Arab States with 5.3 per thousand people, followed by Europe and Central Asia with 4.4 per thousand.

👉3.3 million children are in situations of forced labour. In the sectors of domestic work, agriculture, and manufacturing.

Today is World Aids Day, a commemoration day to show support to those who suffer from it, remember the ones who left us and eliminate the stigma around the illness by creating awareness.

This remembrance day started in 1988 to eliminate some myths, to share knowledge and make people aware of it.

You will find here some relevant data gathered from WHO that proves we still have a lot to learn about this illness.

👉84.2 million [64.0 million–113.0 million] people have been diagnosed with HIV since the start of the pandemic and 1.5 million [1.1 million–2.0 million] people became infected with HIV in 2021.

👉40.1 million [33.6 million–48.6million] people have died from HIV-related illness since we have records and only in 2021, 650 000 people [510 000–860 000] passed away from AIDS-related illness.
