Human Rights

The very essence of humanity

Why Support Human Rights?• The whole of society will be stronger if we are empowered to realize

our own human rights and to stand up for the rights of others.

• Human rights are not simply about courts; they can be used in practical ways to create a fairer more decent society.

• Collaboration and partnership working are fundamental to securing our mission and vision.

Article 2• Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms

without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, gender, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.

Article 3

• All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law.

Article 26

 Everyone has the right to education.

Article 25(2) Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.

SolutionsThe prime and most simple rule in this field, as usually stated, is to take heed of others’ rights and yours will be taken care of, ultimately. Every problem in today’s world is the derivation of the violation of Human Rights in different ways. This is not such a case in which committees can actually be the solution. The conditions rise qualms amongst the violators, that’s a sure a thing, but mainly, this can only be overcome when each person takes up responsibility for his/her own actions and realizes that that he/she is the change that can put everything right. So be the change you want to see in the world.
