The Center will also provide information about the United for Human Rights Program, inspired by Mr. Hubbard’s words, “Human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream.” Scientologists support what has become the world’s largest non-governmental human rights education initiative. This program is used by teachers, professors, educators, human rights activists and mentors in 80 countries all over the world.
“We are confronted daily with news of ethnic conflicts, inhumane practices, civil unrest and war.
The media is filled with stories of human rights violations—from domestic violence and school bullying to corruption and poverty and government-sanctioned discrimination. All the while, a majority of the world’s population does not even know what human rights are and that they are entitled to them,” according to Unitedforhumanrights.org .
“With the intolerance and injustice across the world, this message of universal human rights is not only timely, but it is one that speaks to men of all races and walks of life,” said Amber Skjelset, Manager of the Scientology Information Center. “These artists are excited to perform and wholeheartedly support the cause.”
