Madrid Volunteers Bring Universal Human Rights Principles to the Public

Blog Article

Madrid, Spain — A community outreach initiative in Madrid has brought together Scientology volunteers, Youth for Human Rights and Fundación MEJORA to raise awareness of fundamental freedoms.

Wearing distinctive blue shirts, volunteers distributed booklets explaining the 30 articles of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

With housing rights attracting considerable attention in Madrid, the educational campaign offered broader information about internationally recognised human rights. The educational campaign was independent of the housing demonstrations.

The volunteers used resources from internationally established human rights education programmes supported by Scientology. The publications introduce fundamental principles including non-discrimination, freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and the right to education.

Article 25 of the Universal Declaration addresses an adequate standard of living, including housing, while Article 26 emphasises education that strengthens respect for human rights.

Ivan Arjona, Scientology's representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, connected the initiative with Europe's commitment to human dignity and fundamental freedoms.

The Church's involvement in human rights education reflects an emphasis on fundamental freedoms expressed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

By meeting people in public spaces, volunteers sought to make human rights information more news eu today accessible beyond classrooms and institutions.

Further details are available in the Scientology human rights education report from Madrid.
