14 Gifts That Proudly Support Human Rights

December 10 marked the 74th Human Rights Day, a date commemorating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This important document was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948 and outlined 30 "fundamental freedoms" that all people are innately privileged to as human beings. With this monumental day coinciding with the season of giving, we thought we'd round up 14 products that help support human rights organizations in the United States and worldwide. Read on to discover these gifts that keep on giving.
