Cidadao Global commemorates 60th Anniversary of the UDHR

In Celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Cidadao Global and Capoeira Brasil recognize Article 22 & 27 of the UDHR. Capoeira is a Afro-Brasilian cultural legacy and art form that represents the self-determination of the enslaved African people of Brasil. For 1892 to 1937, Capoeira was outlawed and associated with criminal behavior. Since then Capoeira has begun to take its rightful place within society and is recognized globally as a cultural form of resistance.
Article 22
Everyone has the right to social security and to the realization of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for dignity.
Article 27
Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.
