Since its inception, the UDHR has championed equality, freedom, and justice for everyone around the world. It calls on each of us to actively protect and uphold the rights of every person, every day. Our Humanitarian team’s vision is based on the UDHR. We believe in an inclusive community where people new to Australia from disadvantaged and diverse backgrounds, understand their rights, can access justice and are treated with equality and dignity. We continue to advocate for vulnerable groups including humanitarian visa holders, asylum seekers, refugees and people who are otherwise disadvantaged. Our efforts focus on ensuring they can access legal advice and assistance, access a fair and informed legal process, and for that legal process to remain relevant and supportive of the UDHR and its mission. We remain dedicated to upholding and advancing the UDHR’s promise of freedom, equality and justice for every client and we celebrate today’s anniversaries in this spirit. Visit the UN website for more information on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Human Rights Day.
