To celebrate Human Rights Day this December 10, 2016, our global network of United Nations Associations (UNAs) came together on social media. Calling upon people around the world to step up and take action to protect human rights, UNAs shared a specially designed Elyx cartoon, created by YAK, Elyx’s creator. With the theme “Stand up for Someone’s Rights,” Human Rights Day 2016 was a great opportunity to provide helpful tips and concrete solutions for how people can get involved and defend someone’s human rights.
