Signage:

The state may not unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on one or more grounds, including race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language and birth. This work echoes this ideal of equality, and uses the tree as symbolism for the constitution, with rainbow colours signifying unity in our diversity.

This Bill of Rights is a cornerstone of democracy in South Africa. It enshrines the rights of all people in our country and affirms the democratic values of human dignity, equality and freedom. - Section 7(1) of the Constitution

Themes: Justice under a tree
Human Rights Day
Rainbow nation
Constitutional links: Equality - constitutional value (section 1a, section 9)
