Human Rights for All ?
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Why do 'some' people know about their rights and others are being denied of their rights? Why are the upholders of rights also the perpetrators of infringements on rights. On the eve, of the UDHR anniversary, these questions are pertinent to ask in order to move forward in the 'advancement' for Human Rights.

Human Rights belong to everyone who in essence are 'human'. Yet, the application of human rights has not been equal and cross-cutting globally. Is it because ' human rights' were essentially documented as a western concept not in the context of cultural relativism? I believe the definition of human rights and how 'accessible' they are by all needs to be changed. Whether we are all 'equal' or not is not the point, we are all human. Yes, we are all different but having differences does not make one lesser than the other.

Education, economics and globalization all play a vital role in reforming how human rights can be entitled 'equally' by all. Because without human rights.. you have... nothing...
