WikiForHumanRights 2024: Knowledge for a Sustainable Future.
The aim of the #WikiForHumanRights campaign is to make sure that everyone has access to neutral, fact-based, and current information for a sustainable future that centers human rights, including topics like the Right to a Healthy Environment and other human rights.
To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we invite Wikimedia communities to create knowledge that documents: how can human rights knowledge help us create a sustainable future? To advocate for your rights, you need to know your rights, and to advocate for a future that respects those rights, the public needs knowledge about the solutions for the issues at the center of each human rights challenge. The role of Wikipedia has never mattered more than now. Everyone everywhere needs access to information about human rights and how we create a sustainable future.
