2018
10 December 2018 #Human Rights Day A call to action - No implementation of human rights in the Universal Human Rights Declaration without human rights defenders. This 10th December marks a double important Anniversary, as we celebrate the 20 years since the adoption of the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders and the 70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
This video shows three women human rights defenders (HRDs) from Guatemala, Peru and Canada. They attended the UN Committee against Torture (CAT) in Geneva during their country reviews in this November 2018 session. During the NGO briefing with the CAT, they voiced their concerns about the lack of prevention and response by the State to gender-based violence against women.
