President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has assured that his administration’s human rights policy does not allow discrimination when it comes to providing essential services to the people.

He said this in his written address to commemorate this year’s International Human Rights Day.

He went on to shed light on his administration’s efforts to guarantee that all Maldivians have equal access to these services without discrimination, such as service establishment projects being carried out across the country without disruption.

Further, the president noted that the value of upholding human equality and respect is underscored by the United Nations' selection of this year's Human Rights Day theme - "Dignity, Freedom, and Justice for All”.

President Solih went on to state that communication between individuals must revolve around respect, love, and justice if a society is to remain independent, as well as to uphold its values of justice, peace, and harmony.

He also shed light on the importance of eliminating factors that restrict human rights in the community.

This being said, President Solih urged the entire society to join hands against domestic violence, the exploitation of women and children and other societal ills.

In his message the President also stressed on the importance of fostering affection within the society, and cultivating the spirit of kindness to each other.

The International Human Rights Day is celebrated on December 10.
