Human rights are the basic freedoms and protections that people are entitled to simply because they are human beings.

Human Rights are Universal

They belong to everyone, regardless of their race, sexuality, citizenship, gender, nationality, ethnicity, or abilities.

Human Rights are Inherent

We are all born with human rights. They belong to people simply because they are human beings.

Human Rights are Inalienable

They cannot be taken away – period. No person, corporation, organization, or even government can deprive another person of his or her rights.

Human Rights can be Violated

Although they are inalienable, they are not invulnerable. Violations can stop people from enjoying their rights, but they do not stop the rights from existing.

Human Rights are Essential

They are essential for freedom, justice, and peace.
