Can we talk about rights if we don't consider the well-being of others? In human rights, the only qualification of relevance is being human. And no matter who we are, we all have the same rights as humans.

What is a right?
Understanding what a right relies on the concept of justice. Human rights are norms that aspire to protect all people everywhere from severe political, legal, and social abuses. Examples of human rights are the right to freedom of religion, the right to a fair trial when charged with a crime, the right not to be tortured, and the right to education.

What happens when we claim a right to do something at the risk of harming or disadvantaging others? Human rights might be our species' most incredible invention. They are the base of our culture and represent incremental progress toward respect, opportunity, and dignity.

However, sometimes people perceive them as inconvenient. And that's why we need to stay vigilant and remind each other that it's worth defending them. Our culture, based on respect and dignity, should not have setbacks.
