“Humans Need to Be Free”
Mixed media – Acrylic & Marker, 24×30

Description: Humans need to be free. Human rights are important because they protect this freedom. If people don’t have human rights, people can get hurt. They won’t be free to be who they want to be. Like Anne Frank and other Jews who were killed by the Nazis. And like today, the Uyghurs in Xinjiang China are being treated badly. The Chinese government is taking away their human rights. I care about Article 9, the right to be free from arbitrary detention, and all the other human rights, because I want to live in a world that has freedom for everyone.

The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
