To mark this occasion, the French National Consultative Commission on Human Rights (CNCDH) has decided to honor initiatives by young human rights defenders, working individually or collectively to promote and defend human rights. A human rights defender is someone who defends a fundamental right in their own name, or in the name of another person or group of persons. Human rights defenders seek the promotion and protection of civil and political rights, as well as the promotion, protection and realization of economic, social and cultural rights.Theme 2: the duty of brotherhoodArticle 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that &ldquo;All human beings [...] should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.&rdquo; This brotherhood involves recognizing the inherent dignity of all members of the human family. Brotherhood and dignity are central to the universality of human rights. Because the principle of brotherhood is based on the idea of human dignity, it means acting with solidarity, respect for others, tolerance, and goodwill. It means rejecting discriminatory attitudes (especially those that could lead to racist behavior), shunning hatred and refusing to act against someone due to their age, gender, or social, ethnic or religious background. As such, brotherhood has an altruistic dimension, and includes the ability to recognize, accept and welcome the uniqueness of other human beings.<h3>Prize:</h3>The five prize winners will be invited to Paris for the official ceremony. &nbsp;They will receive a medal and share a total sum of &euro;70,000, to be used to implement their projects. Five runners-up will be awarded a &ldquo;special mention&rdquo; medal by the French ambassador in their country of origin.See more available <a href="https://www.for9a.com/en/country/Germany">opportunities in Germany&nbsp;</a>on For9aSee more available<a href="https://www.for9a.com/en/opportunity/category/Residencies-and-Exchange-Programs">&nbsp;exchange programs</a> on For9a
