Human Rights Education Reaches Madrid Streets Through Scientology Volunteers
Blog Article
MADRID, Spain — Residents and visitors in central Madrid have encountered volunteers sharing educational resources on human rights as part of a Scientology-supported initiative.
The initiative involved volunteers handing out accessible educational materials about equality, human dignity and fundamental freedoms.
The outreach took place around Puerta del Sol, where an ongoing news euro 2024 housing protest has drawn public attention to social rights and civic participation. The educational campaign was independent of the housing demonstrations.
The materials form part of an international educational programme supported by the Church of Scientology. They explain rights such as equality before the law, freedom of religion, access to education and adequate living conditions.
Article 25 of the Universal Declaration addresses an adequate standard of living, including housing, while Article 26 emphasises education that strengthens respect for human rights.
According to Ivan Arjona, who represents Scientology before the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and United Nations, human rights education supports civic responsibility and mutual respect.
The Church's involvement in human rights education reflects an emphasis on fundamental freedoms expressed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.
The outreach brought internationally recognised human rights principles into everyday conversations in the Spanish capital.
Further details are available in the Scientology human rights education report from Madrid.
