Human Rights Commitment

Human Rights Commitment

At arnold munene, human rights are not an abstract concept. They are foundational. This brand is built on the belief that dignity, safety, and self-expression are non-negotiable for all people.

Our work across publishing, media, apparel, beauty, and hygiene exists within a broader responsibility to respect and uphold fundamental human rights in how we create, communicate, and operate.

Our Position

We affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, regardless of:

  • sexual orientation

  • gender identity or expression

  • race, ethnicity, or nationality

  • religion or belief

  • disability

  • socioeconomic status

Human rights are not conditional, negotiable, or selective.

Freedom of Expression

At the core of arnold munene is the right to self-expression. Through writing, publishing, and creative work, we support the freedom to think, speak, and exist authentically without fear, censorship, or coercion.

We reject systems and narratives that silence, erase, or punish people for being themselves.

Inclusion & Non-Discrimination

We are committed to operating without discrimination in our:

  • content and storytelling

  • hiring and collaboration practices

  • partnerships and supplier relationships

  • customer engagement

We do not tolerate hate speech, harassment, or discrimination in any form within our platforms or community spaces.

Ethical Business Practices

We aim to work with partners, manufacturers, and service providers who respect basic labor rights, including:

  • safe working conditions

  • fair treatment and compensation

  • freedom from forced or exploitative labor

As the brand grows, we continue to assess and improve the integrity of our supply chain.

LGBTQ+ Visibility & Protection

arnold munene acknowledges the ongoing global reality that LGBTQ+ individuals face disproportionate levels of violence, discrimination, and exclusion.

Through representation, publishing, and visibility, this brand affirms the right of LGBTQ+ people to exist openly, safely, and without apology.

Visibility is not provocation. It is a human right.

Responsibility & Accountability

We recognize that human rights work is ongoing. We commit to:

  • listening and learning

  • reviewing our practices as the brand evolves

  • responding thoughtfully to concerns raised in good faith

We do not claim perfection. We commit to responsibility.

Community & Impact

Where possible, arnold munene seeks to contribute to conversations, initiatives, and platforms that advance dignity, equality, and understanding, particularly for marginalized communities.

Our contribution begins with how we operate and extends to what we choose to amplify.

Zero Tolerance

We maintain zero tolerance for:

  • hate speech

  • incitement to violence

  • harassment or intimidation

  • discrimination against protected groups

Engagement that violates these principles may be restricted or removed.
