Building on the Strengths of Families and Communities

Abstract

Chapter 3 of this book recounts the Tenth Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, when Eleanor Roosevelt presented the guide In Your Hands to the United Nations. On that occasion, she put forth the challenge to all people to recognize and uphold the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family as the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.
