The Church of Scientology sponsors Human Rights education all over the world through support of the non-profit organizations United for Human Rights and Youth for Human rights. By informing people of their rights set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human rights ratified by the United Nations in 1948, people are empowered with knowledge and are inspired to help defend and stand up for their rights and prevent violations of them for others.  The Church supports these initiatives based on the writing of L. Ron Hubbard where he says, “Human Rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream."
