Join our global movement!
A global campaign that seeks to bring together 1,000 local and regional governments by 2030 that place dignity, inclusion, and justice at the center of their public policies.
“10, 100, 1000 Human Rights Cities and Territories by 2030” is a global campaign that promotes a growing movement of cities and territories that place dignity, inclusion and justice at the center of their public policies.
Launched in 2022 by the UCLG Committee on Social Inclusion, Participatory Democracy and Human Rights, together with pioneering cities such as Barcelona, Grigny, Gwangju, Mexico City, Utrecht, and Vienna, this campaign invites more local and regional governments to join and lead change from the local to the global level.
“A Human Rights city is both a local community and a socio-political process in a local context where human rights play a key role as fundamental values and guiding principles."
Gwangju Declaration, 2011
