UNITED for Human Rights (www.humanrights.com) and its subsidiary, YOUTH FOR HUMAN RIGHTS, because the working conditions butlers and other household staff enjoy are dependent upon the concept of Human Rights being known and followed.
While our profession's circumstances have improved over the centuries from that of slave to serf to servant and finally to staff member/employee and even professional, some of our colleagues today suffer injury and even death at the hands of their employers. Indeed, Human Rights are still an undreamt dream for billions and are being eroded currently with the passage of such as The Patriot Act in the land that champions Human Rights, the United States of America.
When humans know their rights, they can insist on them and so help to preserve a civilization without which there would be no butlers. United for Human Rights aims to bring to life and raise public awareness of the 30 basic Human Rights as set down in the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Their Web site features the movie THE STORY OF HUMAN RIGHTS and a series of unique Public Service Announcements, each featuring one of the 30 Human Rights.
