On Friday 13 September, the UN Human Rights Council will be discussing ‘traditional values’, which is often touted as the “ASEAN way” by SE Asian leaders. Throughout the region, ‘traditional values’ is the argument often used by the authorities and/or majority groups to suppress the voices and rights of religious minority groups, indigenous people, women and the LGBT community.
Please go to the website prepared by Judy Taing, Asia Programme Officer and to stand up for UNIVERSAL human rights.
Judy Has launched a Thunderclap on Friday (9am UK time), to send a clear message to the UN and international community that we believe human rights are universal and that the Human Rights Council must reject ‘traditional values’.
