Basic Human Rights

Basic Human Rights:

"Approximately 27 million people are currently enslaved in the human trafficking trade around the world."

According to the United Nations, a few of the basic human rights include (1)the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, access to water and sanitation, and countless others.

Human rights determine the basic standard of living for millions and ensure they live with dignity and have the freedom to choose their path in life and follow their beliefs.

Human rights become a medium of guaranteeing people basic amenities required for survival such as food, shelter, as well as an education to provide them with an option to take advantage of opportunities presented to them.

Furthermore, they guarantee equality, liberty, and security protecting people from being victims of abuse at the hand of more powerful individuals.

Human rights, although are universal, inalienable, and non-discriminatory, violation, as well as the lack of access to them, are more frequent than we assume them to be.

Human rights are provided conditionally and although it should be accessible to everyone it isn’t to millions who are victims of oppression or discrimination.

Access to basic human rights should be a default in everyone’s lives and no one should have to fight for the rights they are deserving of.

Human rights are an entitlement, not a privilege, the sooner this is understood the faster this issue of lack of access to human rights can be won.
