The sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is on December 10th, and Witness' The Hub team has put together a video that responds to the question: What images have opened your eyes to Human Rights? The video is online right now and with it they are asking all of us to participate by showing and telling the world about the power images have had in making us care about Human Rights.
The images used on their video all came from the archives at Witness' The Hub, a platform for uploading Human Rights related videos. In this short clip, Human Rights abuses in Afghanistan, Argentina, Brazil, Burma, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Chechen Republic in Russia, the Philippines and West Sudan are featured.
The call for answers to their question is open for everyone, and there are different ways to respond:
1) Respond with video on the Hub
2) Respond with text (leaving a comment on their blog post)
3) Respond with video on YouTube
4) Join them on Facebook
5) Blog & Vlog!
More information on The Hub's project can be found on their group page and on their blog. Any language is welcome for the response, and they'll do their best to translate all of the responses, and if you wish, you can also help them translate content.
Hey Juliana, thanks so much for starting this conversation! As always, we are in awe of the GV community and thrilled to see it has been translated to so many languages and countries. Several people have answered to call to participate and share their images … you can check out more responses to the question here: http://hub.witness.org/en/seeit/browse?sort=created_time&limit=30&keyword=udhr60&kinds=upload_content%2Ccampaign%2Cevent%2Cpetition%2Cgroup%2Cgroup%2Cresource%2Cforum%2Cblog

I could really see that Sudan really has a problem with the human rights. Also by just reading all about the news in Sudan, it really kills my heart to hear all those sad stories. To relieve myself from the sadness, I stumbled on The Emma Academy Project because they will be building a school there in Leer, Sudan. I really believe that education is a very peaceful solution to the war because I really do think that everyone agrees that education is peaceful, and a lot of people will also benefit from it. We would then progress as one too.
