International Human Rights Day 2024 

To mark International Human Rights Day, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Somalia in collaboration with the Somalia Journalist Syndicate launched the #Baraarug (#WakeUP) campaign, a digital dialogue dedicated to human rights and freedom of expression. The event, held in #Mogadishu, brought together a diverse group of participants, including minority representatives, civil society members, media personnel, and government officials.

The art-led initiative highlighted challenges in human rights and freedom of expression through poetry and theather, while advocating for greater inclusion, equality, and justice in Somalia.

‘’Human rights are not just ‘nice to have’ – they are the basis of human wellbeing, equality, dignity and freedom. All around the world, even the most basic rights are under pressure due to conflict, climate change, and oppression. On Human Rights Day, we remember the vital importance of upholding human rights for all people, everywhere.”
