Human rights are the oxygen of humanity. But one by one, they are being suffocated. Human rights are on the ropes and being pummeled hard. This represents a direct threat to all of the hard-won mechanisms and systems established over the last 80 years to protect and advance human rights. But as the recently adopted Pact for the Future reminds us, human rights are, in fact, a source of solutions. The Pact provides a playbook on how we can win the fight for human rights: through peace, development, the rule of law, climate action, and better governance of technology. We can help end the suffocation of human rights by breathing life into the Pact for the Future. Let’s do it together. We don’t have a moment to lose.

This means millions of children are being taught in a language they don’t fully understand — making it more difficult for them to learn, express themselves, and reach their full potential. On Friday’s Mother Language Day, join UNESCO in advocating for inclusive, mother tongue-based education.? https://lnkd.in/g8Fi5p7m

Social justice means ensuring equal rights and opportunities for everyone, no matter their background. Yet, millions worldwide still lack access to education, decent jobs, health care, and social protection. We need a human-centered approach that advances social justice for all, everywhere.
