The UDHR is a milestone document which proclaims the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being - regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, ethnicity, political or other opinions, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
International days like this are occasions to educate the public on issues of concern, mobilize political will
and resources to address global problems and celebrate and reinforce the achievements of humanity.
ACDP and our partners have embraced these days as a powerful advocacy tool.
Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world, from birth
until death. They apply regardless of where you are from, what you believe or how you choose to live
your life.
“What is the meaning of Human Rights? It is about being responsible for your thoughts because
thoughts become words and words become actions.” educated Ruth Kissam, Board Chair for
Advancing PNG Women Leaders Network, in her Awareness Talk.
About 150 city residents from all walks of life clad in peaceful white walked to show solidarity in
standing up for human rights because all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
In this last Walk for Life event for the year, ACDP Management and Team would like to acknowledge
and credit all those who attended today and throughout the year, especially Community Leaders; Julie
Ambi – Tokarara, Lina Gerry – Morata, Sarah M - Murray Barracks, Geua K – Joycebay, Joenne Vau

and not forgetting all our communities from Amazing Port Moresby.
Participants were also entertained by Vadavada Community Kids.
