1. THE FIGHT FOR OUR
HUMAN RIGHTS

2. WHAT ARE HUMAN RIGHTS?
Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our
nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour,
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.
3. WHY DO WE CARE ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS?
In this global age, national borders are
becoming ever more porous. The
interdependency of the world's people
is growing exponentially. Events in
other parts of the world related to the
economy, environment, workers rights,
etc. affect all of us.
4. • The racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance that
confront nations around the world continue to stain the human condition and
remain an obstacle in our struggle for justice, equal opportunity, and meaningful
human development.
• Many critical issues of racism and racial discrimination continue to face people
all over the globe. These include issues disparate treatment in the criminal
justice system; unequal education, health care and employment; the rise in hate
crimes; and discrimination based on sexual orientation.
• The civil rights community has petitioned the United Nations for redress in the
past - in 1947, the NAACP joined other U.S, civil rights groups in presenting one
of the very first individual human rights appeals ever submitted to the United
Nations.
• In this global age, national borders are becoming ever more porous. The
interdependency of the world's people is growing exponentially. Events in other
parts of the world related to the economy, environment, workers rights, etc.
affect all of us.
5. SOLUTIONS:
We must raise our voices against such
violations and raise awareness
We should be alert all the time and every
single person should take self defense
classes.
Our complains to authorities must be
looked at..
There should be more organizations
related to human rights.
Everyone’s needs should be taken a look
6. Never doubt that a small group of
thoughtful, committed citizens can
change the world; indeed, it's the only
thing that ever has.
-Margaret Mead, American anthropologist
7. Human rights are not worthy of
the name if they do not protect
the people we don’t like as well
as those we do. –Trevor Phillips
