Villages celebrate World Human Rights day

Five villages from the district of Falelatai & Samatau came together to celebrate and discuss human rights and faasamoa.

Each village marched, showing off their colours and representing different human rights values: Matautu (Respect), Suifaga (Freedom), Pata (Peace), Falevai (Equality), & Samatau (Love). All values of human rights, all values of the faasamoa and the foundations of our wonderful society.

The march was followed with a formal opening by Deputy Prime Minister Fonotoe Nuafesili who called for "every day to be a human rights day".

World Human Rights Day is commemorated on 10 December.
