Human Rights

Every human being is entitled to human rights such as right to live and exist, right of freedom, freedom from exploitation, freedom from inequality and equality before law, to have adequate standard of living.

Human rights are the rights to which an individual has rights as a human being. Men, women and children individually and collectively have these rights by virtue of their birth as human beings.

Human rights means being able to hold hands with the person you love, work where you’re qualified to work without your skin color or sexual orientation.

Human rights are not a recent invention. The principles of human rights can be traced back to ancient civilizations and are central to Christian, Buddhist, Confucian, Hindu, Islamic and Jewish teachings.

Human rights have been important parts of the development of nations such as the United States of America, France, and more recently South Africa. 

Constitutions of human rights in different countries:

                                                                                             We can estimate the importance of human rights from the constitutions of different countries shortly. As like
