What is?
Give me 1 minute of HEALTH
In 2010 UN Etxea – Basque Country Association for UNESCO launched the “Give me 1 minute of…” competition for audiovisual works with the aim of raising awareness of Human Rights.
“Give me 1 minute of…” is an annual competition in which the best 1-minute audiovisual works that defend, promote, claim, disseminate or raise awareness of Human Rights are awarded.
In each edition, the competition focuses on a different theme.
In 2023, in its 14th edition, the competition is entitled “Give me 1 minute of HEALTH”.
In this edition, the best 1-minute audiovisual works that defend, promote, claim, disseminate and/or raise awareness of the human right to health and wellbeing will be awarded.
Addressing different dimensions related to health and wellbeing with a human rights approach is relevant and necessary, even more so in this post-pandemic scenario where many diseases have taken a back seat in both public interest and investment, and where women and other vulnerable groups continue to be denied their right to health and wellbeing.
Now more than ever, more efforts are needed to completely eradicate a wide range of diseases and address a large number of ongoing and emerging health problems, health being understood as a state of complete physical, mental, social and environmental well-being, as also pointed out in Sustainable Development Goal 3 of the United Nations Development Agenda.
