Human Rights Education Reaches Madrid Streets Through Scientology Volunteers

Blog Article

Madrid, Spain — A community outreach initiative in Madrid has brought together Scientology volunteers, Youth for Human Rights and Fundación MEJORA to raise awareness of fundamental freedoms.

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.

The outreach took place around Puerta del Sol, where an ongoing housing protest has drawn public attention to social rights and civic participation. Volunteers concentrated on raising awareness of universal rights without endorsing specific political demands.

The volunteers used resources from internationally established human rights education programmes supported by Scientology. The information covers everyday rights relating to dignity, personal freedom, education and social protection.

Among Scientology its provisions, the Declaration addresses housing under Article 25 and the role of human rights education under Article 26.

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, rooted in the importance L. Ron Hubbard placed on fundamental freedoms.

The outreach brought internationally recognised human rights principles into everyday conversations in the Spanish capital.
