Human Rights plays a role in everyone’s life, but not everyone realizes it. Human rights are about recognising the value and self-respect of everyone. It is the about respect, fairness, justice and equality. It’s about standing up for our own rights and about our responsibility to respect the rights of others. The definition of human rights is:

“Human rights are concerned with equality and fairness. They recognise our freedom to make choices about our life and develop our potential as human beings. They are about living a life free from fear,
