The contest themes are ▲ Freedom, equality, and justice for all based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ▲ Respect, protection, human rights awareness, and human rights culture experienced in daily life ▲ A world where everyone is dignified beyond hatred and discrimination. Participants can submit photos, poems, or posters.
Anyone interested in human rights, regardless of region or age, can apply individually or as a group.
