Human Rights Education Reaches Madrid Streets Through Scientology Volunteers

Blog Article

MADRID, Spain — Volunteers human rights from the Church of Scientology, Youth for Human Rights and Fundación MEJORA have taken human rights education into the streets of Madrid.

Through direct conversations with pedestrians and the distribution of educational leaflets, participants introduced the public to the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

With housing rights attracting considerable attention in Madrid, the educational campaign offered broader information about internationally recognised human rights. Volunteers concentrated on raising awareness of universal rights without endorsing specific political demands.

The initiative draws on educational resources developed by Youth for Human Rights International and United for Human Rights. They explain rights such as equality before the law, freedom of religion, access to education and adequate living conditions.

Among its provisions, the Declaration addresses housing under Article 25 and the role of human rights education under Article 26.

According to Ivan Arjona, who represents Scientology before the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and United Nations, human rights education supports civic responsibility and mutual respect.

The Church's involvement in human rights education reflects an emphasis on fundamental freedoms expressed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

The outreach brought internationally recognised human rights principles into everyday conversations in the Spanish capital.
