On 1 October at 1pm, people around the world raised their index finger to show support for Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states: ALL human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

They have been joined by thousands of others who are raising their fingers to say to the world that human rights are entitled to everyone, including older people.

You can still join the movement by taking a photo of yourself like the ones below and sending them to campaigns@helpage.org or upload your photos directly to our Flickr group here
