Oct 25 Global Day of Action for the Right to Health
Amee Amin
My name is Amee Amin and I work with the Article 25 Education Fund, a right to health advocacy group based on Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
This October 25th, our group is coordinating a Global Day of Action for the right to health. Our goal is to ignite a unified, global right to health movement and make our voices heard like never before. People in every corner of the planet are organize a wide range of actions on that day–from marches to candlelight vigils–to elevate the right to health as a global priority. Most importantly, people are organize their friends in the shape of the number 25 to show our world leaders that we have not forgotten about their commitment to the right to health. I’ve attached an activist guide for the day of action as well as a brief 2 page overview. People in 40 countries across the world are already organizing - from Peru to Guatemala, Ghana to Jordan, Bangladesh to Cambodia - but we need your help if we want to see an action in nearly every country in the world. This would be a perfect opportunity to raise the alarm on patient rights.
