A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
Me and my husband will definitely support this event. The only thing is we have a photo-blog and we don't write that much. But my husband is a graphics artist/photographer and I'm sure he will come up with something relevant to the event.
Here's our photoblog btw- sleepingbabyphotos.com/

Give rights of information to Chinese blog audiences!
Here I want to say thx for having this day, and I can only hope that the Chinese government will levy the ban of blogspot and various other websites from their ridiculous firewalls - supposed to shield them? Chinese students are misinformed about the world out here and my voice is too little.....
My blog is at blog.uc4international.com..
enforcing human rights is the challenge
THE Universal Declaration Rights is the moral campus for governments and individuals alike with regards to upholding human rights. If religiously followed the world would become a better place, man would co-exist in peace ,dignity and prosperity.However,despite it's the virtues of the UDHR, the world since 2001 has seem an upsurge in torture,terrorism and most excessive repression of human rights in Palestine and Zimbabwe.
There be more international mechanisms which coerce governments as the custodians of human rights to live up to their mandate.without input from the state as with the case in Zimbabwe where the state is promoting the abuse of human rights through enforced disappearances and the state's unwillingness to prosecute perpetrators of the june 27 violence.
From such a standpoint the international community should find befitting ways to whip governments which disregard the significance of human rights in their political discourse.That is when the gap between principle and implementation will lead to respect for human rights.

For a path out of poverty, take the human rights route
All over the world, people in poverty are demanding dignity. They want an end to the injustice and exclusion that keep them trapped in deprivation. They want to have control over the decisions that affect their lives.
They want their rights to be respected and their voices to count. Join them now. Add your voice to Amnesty International’s new campaign.
When people in poverty talk of their experiences, they do not just talk of deprivation – although of course that is key. They also talk of whether they can send their children to school, and whether that school, along with their home, will be bulldozed in the morning.
They talk of living in fear of violence, of being treated like criminals, of being excluded not just from what is perceived as ‘mainstream’ society but also from decisions taken on their own behalf, of never being listened to.
They talk of arbitrary arrests, of losing their scant livelihoods on the whim of an international corporation’s determination to extract resources from under their feet, of being marginalized, of having no access to justice. They talk about the experiences that shape their lives: experiences of deprivation, insecurity, exclusion and a sense of voicelessness.
In the next few years, Amnesty International will be working with individuals and communities who are living in poverty to ensure that when they talk about their experiences, governments listen. But in order to do this, we need your support, your opinion and your voice.
Act now
The Demand Dignity campaign is underway and it needs your support. Help us spread the word: Human rights abuses cause and perpetuate poverty. Add your voice, have your say, and join Amnesty International in ensuring that governments listen to those living in poverty as they demand their rights.
Go to www.demanddignity.org to find out more about the issues of the campaign. It is your platform: express your opinions, listen to others’ and influence decision makers.
Let us know what Dignity means to you by adding your voice. Our collective demand for dignity will be heard louder and clearer with each and every new voice.

Human Rights Day
http://www.amnestyusa.org/writ…
Celebrate Human Rights Day by using the proven tool of writing letters to save lives.
Each year hundreds of thousands of people across the world mark International Human Rights Day on December 10 by taking part in Amnesty International's Write for Rights Global Write-a-thon - the world's largest letter writing event. We write letters to demand that the rights of individuals are respected, protected and fulfilled. In doing so, we show solidarity with those suffering human rights abuses and work to bring about real change in people's lives.
