Today marks the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Each year on this day people all over the world celebrate the basic rights and freedoms that are
universally agreed to belong to every person in the world from birth to death regardless of where they
are from, what they believe or how they choose to live their life.
December 10 is also a day to draw attention to, and stand against, the many forms of abuse and
denial of those rights. Throughout the world, women and girls continue to be denied their right to own
property, to live free from violence, to an education, to not be forced into marriage and to be treated
equality to men and boys.
Through our free information, education and legal aid programs, Inherit Your Rights works to
empower women and girls in northern Tanzania to stand up for their individual and collective rights to
equality, justice and safety from all forms of harm.
Please support our campaign to train 50 additional women as community paralegals in 2019 by
