VIII. National Human Rights Week Celebration
The 2021 National Human Rights Consciousness
Week (NHRCW) opened on Monday, 1 December,
bannering the call to address inequalities presently being
experienced by Filipinos compounded by the present
Covid-19 pandemic. CHR rallies for the need to address the
long-standing causes of discrimination, inequality, and
inhumane treatment usually experienced by the most
vulnerable, disadvantaged, and marginalized sectors of society. The CHR kicked-off the
National Human Rights Week with the theme: EQUALITY - Reducing inequalities,
advancing human rights or translated in Tagalog as Pagkakapantay-pantay: Isulong ang
mga Karapatang Pantao sa Panahon ng Pandemya . The kick-off activity was held on-site at
the Liwasang Diokno at the CHR Central Office in Quezon City and online with government
and civil society representatives present through video conferencing.
CHR Commissioner Karen Gomez-Dumpit during her message for the opening
programme said, “Today is a most opportune time for us to come together to affirm this year’s

Pagkakapantay-pantay. Our survival as human beings are dependent on the preservation of
human rights. In the midst of the current pandemic, issues of equality have come to the fore
