READER LETTER | We must sustain human rights culture into the future: Human Rights Day, commemorated annually on March 21, is aimed at reminding South Africans of the sacrifices made for the attainment of democracy.
This year, Human Rights Month is commemorated under the theme “Consolidating and Sustaining Human Rights Culture into the Future”. A culture of sustaining human rights is one where, as a society, we would live consciously and intentionally in ensuring that the rights of everyone are not infringed on. A culture where the rights of both underprivileged and privileged groups are upheld equally, irrespective of their social and financial backgrounds.
The department of social development continues to ensure that the rights of others are upheld through interventions and services provided to communities. To ensure that these rights are upheld, the department of social development in Gauteng has established food banks to provide food parcels to families in need.
