Alwaleed Philanthropies: Enhancing Handicrafts and Preserving Cultural Heritage in the "Year of Artisans" 2025

On December 10th, Human Rights Day serves not only as a time to celebrate progress but also as a powerful reminder of the ongoing work needed to ensure dignity, equality, and justice for all. While human rights are universally recognized, they are not always upheld, and many continue to face violations every day. From gender inequality to systemic violence, millions around the world suffer from discrimination, exploitation, and a lack of access to basic rights like healthcare and education.
