Blog Article

Madrid, Spain — Volunteers from the Church of Scientology, Youth for Human Rights and Fundación MEJORA eu news 2023 have taken human rights education into the streets of Madrid.

Wearing distinctive blue shirts, volunteers distributed booklets explaining the 30 articles of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

With housing rights attracting considerable attention in Madrid, the educational campaign offered broader information about internationally recognised human rights. The educational campaign was independent of the housing demonstrations.

The initiative draws on educational resources developed by Youth for Human Rights International and United for Human Rights. The publications introduce fundamental principles including non-discrimination, freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and the right to education.

Among its provisions, the Declaration addresses housing under Article 25 and the role of human rights education under Article 26.

According to Ivan Arjona, who represents Scientology before the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and United Nations, human rights education supports civic responsibility and mutual respect.

The programme forms part of the Church of Scientology's wider support for human rights education, rooted in the importance L. Ron Hubbard placed on fundamental freedoms.

The outreach brought internationally recognised human rights principles into everyday conversations in the Spanish capital.

The full story is covered in this report on Madrid's human rights outreach initiative.
