Why a Human Rights Walk and Festival...

In these times all people must come together to educate ourselves and our youth in basic human rights. These rights were set forth by the United Nations in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The purpose of the Human Rights Walk is to unite all people in these rights and to make them a reality. Through education we can end war, discrimination and intolerance.

Be a part of a World-wide Human Rights Event and put your best foot forward to support Human Rights. Join us with all your friends and your family at this fun filled event of entertainment, educational speakers and to walk with like-minded individuals supporting human rights around the world. Your participation will help make a difference in our community and across the world!

Event Coordinator

I am a sophomore at The John Cooper School in The Woodlands, and as my project for the Gold Award in the Girl Scouts organization, the highest achievement you can earn, I have set my attention on holding this very fun and meaningful event in our community, now for the second time.  

The first year was so successful that with over 1000 people in attendance, it was the largest Human Rights Day celebration in the United States all due to the tremendous support from our wonderful community. As a result, I was asked by several members of our community to make this an annual event.

 Human Rights are important for everyone to be completely familiar with.  In the US we may think that violations of human right are not much an issue, but nothing could be further from the truth.  Things like Human Trafficking, which is modern day slavery, discrimination, and religious intolerance,  just to name a few, can be seen in our own community on a daily basis.

My goal with this fun and exciting event is to help raise awareness so that we can apply ALL of the 30 Basic Human Rights as set out by the United Nations, under the direction of Eleanor Roosevelt, over sixty years ago.

 Thank you for your help in assisting me with my Girl Scout Gold Award project, as well as making a positive impact in the world we all share!
