DAV Public School, Lawrence Road, Amritsar, observed a special assembly to
commemorate Human Rights Day. On this day in 1948, the United Nation’s General Assembly
adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Day. The day is celebrated to improve the
physical, social, cultural and spiritual well being and welfare of the vulnerable group of people
globally. The students presented a role play highlighting the issue of lack of awareness among the
illiterate and poor about their basic rights and how they are repressed by the powerful for their
selfish motives. The students made it loud and clear through their effective performance that to
deny people their human rights is to challenge humanity. The human rights belong equally to each
of us and bind us together as a global community with the same ideals and values.
