Floridians Unite in the Name of Human Rights with an Annual Awards Celebration

Clearwater, FL, December 05, 2020 --(PR.com)-- To cap off their most successful year to date, United for Human Rights Florida chapter will be holding their annual celebration of International Human Rights Day 2020. The event will be live-streamed on their Facebook page on Saturday, December 5, starting at 6:30pm. Awards will be presented to professors from schools and colleges, non-profit organization leaders, government officials and community advocates who have been promoting human rights throughout the year.

Since the beginning of 2020, more than 1 million people in Florida have been educated on their 30 inalienable rights by United for Human Rights (UHR) Florida chapter’s activities and outreach efforts. UHR has partnered with 100 other organizations and have delivered dozens of webinars, seminars and events.

Cristian Vargas, the Executive Director of the UHR Florida chapter said, “A look at today’s headlines will confirm that there is a basic lack of human rights knowledge in our society. So how can people respect and enforce them if they don’t know what they are? United for Human Rights provides educational materials which empower individuals and gives them the knowledge to change a community.”

According to the National Human Trafficking Hotline, nearly 1,000 cases of human trafficking were reported in 2019, a 16% percent increase from the year before. Florida is also ranked 3rd in America for human trafficking cases reported.

Cristian will host the event along with Christopher King, the President of United for Human Rights Florida chapter and the grandson of late Blues legend, BB King. The event also features several notable celebrity guest speakers, who will be awarding volunteers and leaders from different Florida cities for their support of human rights in their fields.
