9. Dignity and Human
Rights • Human rights are based on a number of core values,
including:
Fairness, Respect, Equality, Dignity, & Autonomy
• Basic rights we all have simply because we are human,
regardless of who we are, where we live or what
we do
• Human rights belong to everyone and should be at the
centre of everything we do.
• Human rights represent all the things that are important to
us as human beings, such as being able to choose
how to live our life and being treated with dignity
and respect and as an individual
