Kindness Advent Calendar: December 10, 2025 (Day 10)
✊🏼Human Rights✊🏼
Welcome to Day 10 of your Kindness Advent Calendar! Throughout December, we will provide you with your daily act of kindness through our Kindness Advent Calendar! Come and celebrate the holiday season as we are kind all December long.
December 10 is Human Rights Day, a global reminder that every person deserves dignity, freedom, and respect. On this day in 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a document that affirmed basic rights for all people everywhere.
Human rights are not general ideas. They shape everyday life. They guide how we treat one another, how we stand up for fairness, and how we create communities where everyone is valued. The right to safety, equality, expression, and opportunity belongs to every person, no matter who they are or where they live.
Today invites us to reflect on what human rights mean in our own lives and how we can support them for others. Think about the people around you who may need understanding, encouragement, or advocacy. This could be someone who feels unheard, someone who faces discrimination, or someone who needs a reminder that their voice matters.
Kindness can play a powerful role in supporting human rights. Listening with empathy, speaking up when something is wrong, learning about others' experiences, or supporting organizations that protect human dignity can all make a difference. Even small actions can create ripples of respect and justice in our communities.
On Human Rights Day, let us choose compassion, awareness, and courage. When we treat others with dignity and stand up for fairness, we help build a world where every person can live with safety, freedom, and hope.
"To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity."
~ Nelson Mandela
