Icon design package for human rights
I love icons. They’re beautiful to look at and are generally very useful. So I contacted our team and thought, “why not create icons for human rights, free for anyone to use as they wish?” Done.
There’s an icon for each topic we cover, as you might see below. Download the package and let us know what you think! Hoping this will be useful. I sure know we’ll be making use of them across all our sites.
Edit: Because of the comments below, 3 icons have been added to the list. They are included now in the package once you download it.

Nice icons but why is the symbol of Islam excluded from the two related icons? I guess there is a good reason for that and I believe I’ll not be the first one to ask this question.
Thanks.
Hi, the majority of the people here are Muslims and our focus has been on religious minorities in our societies that face abusive discrimination. Lots of people cringe at the sight of other religious symbols and we hope to see an end to such reactions.
This is amazing, but for “interfaith coexistence” I think the icon of Islam is important.
Yeah you’re right, we’ll do a version with it there.
Must be hard to do icons that will satisfy everyone! I like this package. I’m sure you thought of this, but I imagine some people might object to the gay rights symbol only showing male symbols.
Hi Solana,
It was actually just showing the female symbols, but your point is really valid, and we just added 2 new icons to represent gay rights.
Aykut and Fatima,
New interfaith icon now includes the symbol of Islam.
Thanks for your feedback!
This is very beautiful, Esra’a.
Thanks, I always get the symbols confused!
Esraa this is a nice job indeed. Icons always play prominent roles in campaigns.
And a question:
Some icons are self-explanatory but a few icons like freedom of speech, Migrant rights, Bahaai rights don’t seem to fall in the category. Am i missing something?
Any how I appreciate the work and effort behind this.
Prior thanks if somebody clarifies my doubt
where is islamic human rights for human that is the best.
