Hello, fellow human rights enthusiasts! We're three months away from the winter solstice, which has long since been a time for loving, giving, and charity in several religions the world over. That's right, I'm talking about December! The month of Christmas, Hanukkah, Bodhi Day, Al Hijra, Kwanzaa, Zarathosht Diso, Ashura-- You know!
I strive to think of a religion that doesn't have a holiday in December. Hinduism doesn't have one this year, but soon enough, Diwali, the Festival of Lights, will be in December again, and then it will.
At any rate, humanitarians have a very important day in December as well-- December 10th, which is the International Human Rights Day. This year will mark the 61st anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations.
So what better month to celebrate the rights of our fellow human beings? December is a time for giving-- so let's give a part of ourselves to raising awareness for people who have had their rights suppressed or taken away completely.
