A ‘right’ is something that a person is entitled to, which cannot be taken away from them. Your rights protect you from being hurt or harmed. But if you have rights, so do others. Your rights can’t be at the expense of others.
Rights are the same for everyone and they are there to make sure that everyone is protected in the same way. The rights which protect us all equally are called Human Rights.
The surprising thing is that the idea of Human Rights didn’t always exist. We have always accepted that all people are free and equal. What we call the Declaration of Human Rights is a list of 30 rights brought out in 1948, by all the countries in the international organization
called the United Nations.
After the Second World War of 1939 -1945, people wanted to make sure that such suffering never happened again. So all countries which were members of the UN signed this document and agreed to accept it.
