Embrace Diversity, End Discrimination

Today is Human Rights Day, chosen to honour the UN's adoption, 51 years back, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the first global proclamation of human rights.

I can say no better than to quote the opening paragraph of the Declaration.

Article 1
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
