On 10 December, hundreds of thousands of activists let their passion and creativity shine in events worldwide. From a candle-lit parade in Mali and video projections on buildings in Germany to lighting home-made lanterns in Puerto Rico − even Canada's famous Niagara Falls was bathed in bright yellow light for the occasion. See the gallery on the right for more brilliant events.
Our words, vision and imagination put the spotlight on people whose rights are under threat. Together, we inspired many more people to take action, helping to change lives.
Thank you for taking part and letting your light shine!
