#HumanRights is a global term we hear often, but many people can’t define. So the question is what are human rights? Are things we are allowed to be, to do or to have, simply by being human. We each own 30 basic human rights, based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

[ISHR International Solidarity for Human Rights @ISHRIGHTS]

These #HumanRights are the same for all people everywhere – male and female, young and old, rich and poor, regardless of our background, where we live, what we think or what we believe. This is what makes human rights ‘universal'. #humanrightseducation
