Human rights refer to the fundamental rights that every individual
inherently possesses as a human being, ensuring that they can live with dignity.

Freedom Rights

The right not to be restricted by the state authority in one’s freedom: academic freedom, freedom of speech and the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of the body,
freedom of thought, etc.

Social Rights

The right to demand social security measures from the state for a dignified life as a human being: rights for education, environment, labor rights, etc.

Equality Rights

The right to equality before the law and not to be discriminated against in political, economic, and social life.

Individuals have the inherent right to be respected and happy, regardless of
nationality, ethnicity, gender, age, language, disability, education, family status,
economic status, or any other distinction. Furthermore, states are obliged
to make efforts to guarantee and promote the human rights of their citizens.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights 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.

In commemoration of Human Rights Day December 10, WeLoveU organized
the WeLoveU Human Rights Art Competition 2023 to elevate awareness
and understanding of human rights, fostering a culture of mutual respect,
with the aim of creating a world where no one feels lonely.

From December 15 to 22, WeLoveU members around the world
submitted various paintings and videos online speaking the dignity
and value of humanity, including freedom, equality, justice, and respect.
Among them, 13 works were selected as award-winning pieces.

Ubuntu for the Promotion of Human Rights!

Instead of running alone to claim the fruit as the winner, the African children
walked hand in hand with their friends to share and enjoy together.

The African proverb “Ubuntu” means “I am because we are,”
which embodies the love for humanity, recognizing that true happiness
is achieved when everyone is happy together.

The spirit of Ubuntu is necessary for the raise of human rights.
By looking around with the mindset that I can be happy when others are happy,
we can uphold the rights of everyone in the global family
without leaving anyone ostracized.

WeLoveU will continue to spread awareness of the value of human rights
and make efforts to create a happy world where everyone’s rights are protected.

Thank you, everyone who participated
in the WeLoveU Human Rights Art Competition!
