Namibian Women Day and International Human Rights Day

Namibian Women's Day and International Human Rights Day fall on the same day in Namibia, and it is a public holiday observed on December 10 each year.

International Human Rights Day was celebrated on December 10 each year, commemorating the United Nations General Assembly's anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1950. UDHR is a milestone document in the history of human rights, and it proclaims a broad range of fundamental rights and freedoms to which everyone is entitled.

The government of Namibia created Namibian Women's Day with the same celebration day as International Human Rights Day to raise the importance of protecting human rights, especially the rights of the most vulnerable groups, such as women and children.

The following is the list of Namibian Women's Day and International Human Rights Day from 2022 to 2026.
