Human rights include the right to food, water, education, shelter, and freedom of expression. The United Nations works to uphold human rights globally. Poverty remains a key reason why human rights are abused, as many lack basic needs. Afghanistan has high poverty rates in South Asia, while over 40% of children in Niger lack primary education. Taking action through donations, volunteering, or spreading awareness can help address human rights issues stemming from lack of resources.

5 forms of violence that affect girls and women
1) 700 million women alive today were married before 18, and 200 million were married before 15. Female genital mutilation affects 200 million women and girls alive today in 30 countries.
2) 150 million girls under the age of 20 have experienced sexual violence, including forced sexual intercourse. 120 million girls under 20 have experienced physical or sexual violence.
3) 246 million girls and boys are harassed and abused on their way to or at school every year, with girls being particularly vulnerable. Most girls do not feel safe from violence when using school toilets.
Importance of Child Rights
Children around the world experience a variety of circumstances, with some playing while others work or struggle to have their basic needs met due to poverty and illiteracy. To overcome situations where children lack access to education, shelter, food, and other rights, child rights are needed. Child rights refer to the idea that every child is entitled to a meaningful childhood regardless of gender, caste, class, or religion, and that each child should have equal opportunities to grow and access basic facilities. Promoting child rights helps ensure children can survive, develop, be protected, and participate in decisions that impact their lives.

This document discusses the right of all children to education. It asserts that every child has the right to be educated in order to develop their personality, talents, and abilities. Primary education must be free for all children. It notes that while 193 countries have ratified the Convention on the Rights of Children, not all honor this convention. Some problems that prevent children from accessing education include children not attending school, discrimination resulting in unequal chances, and lack of necessities like food, water, and healthcare. The conclusion restates that all children have the equal right to education and opportunities.

Street Children
Street children are children who live on the streets and use the streets as their home or source of livelihood. They often come from troubled family backgrounds or are abandoned. There are different categories of street children in the Philippines, ranging from those who still have some family contact to those who are completely on their own.

Street Children
There are over 100 million street children worldwide who live without families and make money on the streets, experiencing exploitation, hunger, lack of shelter, drugs, and violence. Many street children in places like Peru, Colombia, and Bolivia face additional dangers like organ harvesting, conscription as child soldiers, and abuse of inhalants.

Things Everybody Should Know
If the world's population was reduced to 100 people, 57 would be Asian, 21 European, 14 North and South American, and 8 African. Six people from the United States would own 59% of the world's total wealth. Eighty people would live in substandard housing, 70 would be unable to read, and 50 would suffer from malnutrition. The wealth of the world's three richest individuals exceeds the combined gross domestic product of all least developed countries, and the wealth of the top 200 richest people is more than the income of the poorest 41% of the world's population.
Yemen

Freedom Of Expression
Freedom of expression is considered a fundamental human right according to international agreements such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. However, different countries interpret and apply this right in different ways. For example, while Egypt has signed the Covenant, it censors the internet and imprisons people for certain types of political speech. China also imprisons dissidents and censors the internet to maintain social and political control. Philosophers debate whether an absolute right to freedom of expression should exist or if restrictions can be justified in some cases based on consequences or duty.
Cry Freedom, By John Briley

Apartheid in South Africa
Apartheid was a system of racial segregation and discrimination enforced in South Africa between 1948 and 1994. The white minority government passed laws separating races and taking political and economic power from non-whites. This led to oppression, poverty, and violence until international pressure and internal uprisings ended apartheid, with Nelson Mandela becoming the first black president in 1994 after multi-racial democratic elections.

Apartheid was a system of legal racial segregation in South Africa between 1948 and 1994. It was enforced by the ruling National Party to maintain minority rule by the white population. Key events included the introduction of apartheid laws in 1948, classifying the population by race in 1950, and restricting the rights of non-white South Africans over the following decades through laws restricting where they could live, work, and travel. Anti-apartheid activism grew both within and outside South Africa, leading to its end with South Africa's first democratic election in 1994 in which Nelson Mandela was elected president.
