Human Rights Monument, Bronze human rights statue in Çankaya, Turkey
The Human Rights Monument is a bronze sculpture located at the intersection of Konur and Yüksel Streets in Ankara. The work depicts several human figures in different poses, each representing distinct aspects of human rights and dignity.
Sculptor Metin Yurdanur created this monument in 1990 during a period when the world was increasingly focused on human rights awareness. The work emerged at a time when Turkey was experiencing growing public dialogue about fundamental freedoms and civic responsibility.
The monument serves as a focal point for social activism and civic engagement, where people gather to advocate for various human rights causes.
The monument is situated in a busy district with good access via public transportation and is surrounded by shops and dining options. The location is easy to reach on foot and serves as a convenient starting point for exploring the area on a walk.
One of the bronze figures is depicted holding and reading the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This detail has made the sculpture a powerful gathering point for activists and demonstrators advocating for civil rights and justice causes.
