Scientology Volunteers Promote Human Rights Education in Madrid

Blog Article

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

Wearing distinctive blue shirts, volunteers distributed booklets explaining the 30 articles of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The outreach took place around Puerta del Sol, where an ongoing housing protest has drawn public attention to social rights and civic participation. The educational campaign was independent of the housing demonstrations.

The initiative draws on educational resources developed by Youth for Human Rights International and United for Human Rights. They explain rights such as equality before the law, freedom of religion, access to education and adequate living conditions.

Article 25 of the Universal Declaration addresses an adequate standard of living, including housing, while Article 26 emphasises education that strengthens respect for human rights.

Ivan Arjona, Scientology's representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, connected the initiative with Europe's commitment to human dignity and fundamental freedoms.

The programme forms part of the Church of Scientology's wider support for human rights education, news eurovision rooted in the importance L. Ron Hubbard placed on fundamental freedoms.

By meeting people in public spaces, volunteers sought to make human rights information more accessible beyond classrooms and institutions.

Further details are available in the Scientology human rights education report from Madrid.
