Human rights are fundamental freedoms and protections that every individual is entitled to, simply by being human. They are inherent to all people, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, gender, religion, or any other status. These rights aim to ensure that individuals can live with dignity, equality, and respect.
Some key human rights include:
1. Right to life and liberty – Protection from arbitrary detention, torture, and execution.
2. Freedom of expression – The ability to freely express ideas and opinions.
3. Right to education – Access to basic education for all people.
4. Right to work and fair conditions – Protection from exploitation and the right to work in safe conditions.
5. Freedom from discrimination – Equal protection under the law, regardless of race, gender, religion, or other status.
6. Right to privacy – Protection from unwarranted intrusion into personal life.
7. Right to participate in government – The ability to freely vote and have a say in political matters.
These rights are enshrined in international documents like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted by the United Nations in 1948, and form the basis for laws, treaties, and agreements across the globe.
