pangeaday.jpgWITNESS is proud to partner with Pangea Day May 10, 2008. As a human rights  organization rooted in the power of visual images and stories, we are pleased to be a part of Pangea Day's mission - "bringing the world together through film."

We encourage Pangea Day viewers around the world to sign the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. By signing the petition, your voice will be among many expressing the need for a global conversation about human rights. Once you sign, join us on the Hub to Tell Your Story. Details below.

 

 

Now that you've signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We invite you to Tell Your Story. WITNESS's Hub, Google Earth and The Elder's campaign "Every Human Has Rights" are building a global digital databank of human rights stories, in text, audio and video. Mary Robinson, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and member of the Elders in partnership with the Hub invite you to Tell Your Story here. Follow the link in the Action section for how to tell your story. You can also view and read human rights stories from around the world.

About WITNESS: WITNESS uses video and online technologies to open the eyes of the world to human rights violations. We empower people to transform personal stories of abuse into powerful tools for justice, promoting public engagement and policy change. WITNESS was founded by musician and activist Peter Gabriel and others in 1992. (Learn more about us here.)

Last year on International Human Rights Day (Dec 10th), which commemorates the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we launched the Hub (http://hub.witness.org) which is the first website dedicated to human rights media and action. Anyone, anywhere can upload, share, provide context for, discuss, rate, and take action around video, audio, still images, etc. about human rights issues. Join us on the Hub!
