Human Rights refer to the fundamental rights and freedoms that inherently belong to every person, regardless of nationality, sex, ethnicity, religion, or any other status. These rights are based on principles of dignity, equality, and mutual respect, which are essential for a peaceful and just society. Human rights encompass a wide range of protections and entitlements, including civil and political rights, such as the right to life, liberty, free speech, and privacy; as well as economic, social, and cultural rights, such as the right to work, education, health, and an adequate standard of living.
Human rights are often enshrined in international law, most prominently in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. They are universal, inalienable (cannot be taken away), and indivisible, meaning that all human rights are equally important and interdependent. Advocacy for human rights involves promoting and protecting these rights and addressing violations by individuals, groups, or governments, aiming to create a world where every individual can live with freedom, dignity, and security.
