Human Rights

Good day everyone. Today, I'll be talking about a very important topic, which as important as it is, it's sometimes taken for granted - our Right

Let's start with the definition of "Human Rights"
Human right is simply defined as the inalienable natural rights and privileges enjoyed by the citizens of any given state, which is usually outlined in the Constitution of the state (Essential Civic Education, S.S. 1-3). Human right is also defined as the certain privileges an individual enjoys, irrespective of age, gender, or creed. Which means that no matter how rich/poor, beautiful/ugly, wise/foolish, tall/short, abled/disabled an individual might be, he/she is entitled to his/her rights, as long as the individual is a citizen of that state.
But the question is WHY THEN ARE SOME PEOPLE DEPRIVED OF THEIR RIGHTS?
This brings us to another segment of this topic, called "THE ROLES OF INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS IN HUMAN RIGHTS"
Some people might wonder how an individual can help in the realization of Human Rights, there's a saying, "Two Head's Are Better Than One". An individual single handedly will make little or no progress in the realization of Human Rights, he/she MUST join hands with other people to create an awareness group, which would help people to know and protect their rights. Non Governmental Organizations(NGO's) can be formed, the mass media(televisions, radios) can also be used as a medium to get across to the people, Human Rights awareness campaigns can be held, A peaceful assembly or meeting can also be held.
All these and many more can be done to ensure that our RIGHTS are protected, because our RIGHT is our VOICE.
