Scientology Volunteers Promote Human Rights Education in Madrid

Blog Article

MADRID, Spain — Volunteers from the news eua Church of Scientology, Youth for Human Rights and Fundación MEJORA have taken human rights education into the streets of Madrid.

Through direct conversations with pedestrians and the distribution of educational leaflets, participants introduced the public to the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

With housing rights attracting considerable attention in Madrid, the educational campaign offered broader information about internationally recognised human rights. The educational campaign was independent of the housing demonstrations.

The materials form part of an international educational programme supported by the Church of Scientology. The publications introduce fundamental principles including non-discrimination, freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and the right to education.

The Universal Declaration connects human dignity with social protections and recognises education as an important means of advancing respect for fundamental freedoms.

According to Ivan Arjona, who represents Scientology before the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and United Nations, human rights education supports civic responsibility and mutual respect.

Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard advocated wider awareness of the Universal Declaration, an approach subsequently reflected in the Church's educational outreach.

The Madrid initiative illustrates how international human rights principles can be shared through practical community activities.

The full story is covered in this report on Madrid's human rights outreach initiative.
