Human Rights Day 2025:
#JesuitStories
10 December 2025 | Nairobi — As the world marks the 77th anniversary of Human Rights Day, the Jesuit Justice and Ecology Network Africa (JENA) reflects on the enduring legacy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted in 1948 in the wake of global conflict and profound human suffering. Its central message—that every human being possesses inherent dignity and inalienable rights—remains as urgent today as it was then.
The mission of the Society of Jesus since the time of its foundation by Saint Ignatius has always relied on the generosity of women and men whose readiness to share in supporting the works of the Society has enabled the carrying forward of the work of building the kingdom of God in service of God’s people.
