30 Human Rights you HAVE in your hands

When we are talking about Human Right,

Everyone,

All leaders

and 

all countries

said 

they do give the right 

to the people who deserve it

How true is this??

What are Human Rights? 



Every person is entitled to certain RIGHTS – simply by the fact that they are a human being.

They are "RIGHTS" because they are things you are allowed to be, to do or to have.

These RIGHTS are there for your protection
against people who might want to harm or hurt you. 

They are also there to help us
get along with each other and live in peace.



Many people know something about their RIGHTS.

They know they have aRIGHTS to be paid for the work they do and they have a RIGHTS to vote.

But there exist many other RIGHTS.

When human RIGHTS are not well known by people, abuses such as discrimination, intolerance, injustice, oppression and slavery can arise.

Born out of the atrocities and enormous loss of life during World War II, the Universal Declaration of Human RIGHTS was created by the United Nations to provide a common understanding of what everyone's RIGHTS are. It forms the basis for a world built on
freedom, justice and peace.
