UN Declaration of Human Rights.

For Christmas holiday funzies, we were asked to illustrate six of the Human Rights in poster format. This was the most challenging brief I've had so far; the 30 declarations are short, sharp and very specific. The research involved a lot of sifting through awful examples of the violation of human rights. I dont do dark and serious. My brain just isn't wired that way. It took a lot of effort, but the results are my best work this term!
Article 3. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. This one is inspired by the Slut walks. A woman should be able to walk down the road without fear of being attacked, no matter how she looks.


Article 9. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.

 Article 12. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

Article 15. Everyone has the right to a nationality. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.

 Article 17. Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property.

Article 24. Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay.
