Human Rights Now

Valentine’s Charity Party

******************************************************

An international human rights NGO, Human Rights Now (HRN)
has planned to host a charity cocktail party to celebrate
‘St. Valentine’s Day’
The keyword for the Valentin’s Day is “Love”.

Human Rights Now supports all forms of love in which
people respect each other regardless of nationality,
origin of birth, gender and occupation on the basis of
equality and human rights.

Human Rights Now hopes that the love from each one of us
will also reach to those whose human rights are violated
in places far away from our daily lives.

The profits gained through this event will be used for
our projects to help promote the eradication of violence
against women, activities of “Asian Activist” to support
women’s rights activists around the world, and activities to
raise awareness of domestic/international human rights issues.

I hope you will profit this event for your networking with
others and enjoy it with us!

We are very looking forward to having you all on the day.
