It is a sad truth that in our history, and in our world today, people’s human rights are not always respected as fully as they should be.
We know that human rights are not being respected when:
- people are blocked from exercising their rights as a citizen.
- people are discriminated against because they have a disability or because of their sexuality, cultural background, or beliefs;
- people’s freedom to make their own choices about their lives are over-ruled
Our human rights must be respected.
Not just some of our human rights, but all of our human rights.
