Human Rights

 Human Rights

Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings regardless of their nationality, sex, colour, religion, language or any other status. In fact, human rights refer to some moral principles or norms that describe certain standards of human behaviour. Human rights are protected as legal rights in international law. Every person in this world has the right to get food, clothing, shelter, education and medical service. These rights are regarded as basic human rights. In our country, a number of people are deprived of their basic human rights. Our poor children are deprived of food, medical service and education. There are a number of street children who are shelterless. These little kids have to earn money themselves for living. They do it by engaging themselves in many risky jobs. Such type of situation increases child labour. Many of our women folk are deprived of education. They have no right to make any decision or give any opinion about the important issues in the family. Sometimes, they are tortured both physically and mentally. Our old people are deprived of proper care and medical service. People can come to know what the constitution says about their rights if they are conscious of their rights. If people know about their rights, they can enjoy their rights and protect themselves properly. They will feel their importance as citizens. They will become responsible citizens of the country. Thus, our people can contribute to the development of the country.
