Universal- everyone has the same rights- all need food, education etc

Essential- no one can/should have to do without rights. Our rights helpus live full lives.

Interrelated to each other- e.g. right to food is related to

education. The more educated you are the better your chances ofearning enough to always have plenty of food.

In 1998, between 5,000 and 7,000 Nepalese girls, some barely 910

years old were trafficked into the red light districts in Indian cities, and

200,000 to over 250,000 Nepalese women and girls were already in

Indian brothels.[3]

According to UNICEF, 12.6 million children are engaged in hazardous

occupations.[4]

In 2009, it was estimated 1.2 million children are trafficked worldwide

for sexual exploitation, including for prostitution or the production of

sexually abusive images[2]

Only 10% of human trafficking in India is international, while almost

90% is interstate. Nearly 40,000 children are abducted every year of

which 11000 remain untraced according to a report by the National

Human Rights Commission of India.[5
