INTRODUCTION
What is human rights?
Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever
our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin,
color, religion, language, or any other status.
We are all equally entitled to our human rights without
discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent
and indivisible.
Human rights are something we all share. They are about
recognizing the value and dignity of all people.
In learning about human rights, we learn about ideas of respect,
fairness, justice and equality. We learn about standing up for our
own rights and our responsibility to respect the rights of others.
Understanding human rights shapes our thinking and our actions
because human rights are about real life issues. For example:
- Having clean water to drink and food to eat
- Being able to go to school and have a job
- Being treated fairly by others, regardless of your age, religion,race or
where you
born
Right to equality
- All human beings are
born free and equal in
dignity and rights. They
are endowed with
reason and conscience
and should act towards
one another in a spirit
of brotherhood.
