Below are their statements dedicated to International Human Rights Day...

Najiba Shirinbekova, Director of the PO "Rights and Prosperity": “On Human Rights Day, I would like to recall that civil society needs to do its utmost to ensure that human rights are respected everywhere and that legal education plays an important role in this, which is aimed primarily at disseminating knowledge of inalienable rights in society. The younger generation should not only know them but also have the right knowledge on how to apply and protect them”.
