Human Rights “Human rights are based on mankind's inâ€" creasing demand for a decent. civilized life in which the inherent dignity of each human being will receive respect and protection." “Rights and duties are opposite sides of the same coin. When the UN. or anyone else calls for respect for human rights, they mean not only that our rights must be observed but that we must respect the rights of others. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a broad document. Its basic purpose is: 1. To enforce protection in the fields of housâ€" ing, public accommodation and employ- ment. To educate to make everyone aware of in- dividual rights (a) to protect older workers (b) to protect women in employment (c) to put the individual in a position to get op- portunities. 3. To promote. stimulate and sponsor good re- search. 4. To look well at the tools used to educate. Our problems are catalogued as . Apathy. . The problem of what we do to each other and what we fail to do for each other. 3. Prejudices. Women have a tremendous part to play in raising children. As a child is raised. so his thinking is shaped. Human Rights Day is observed each year on December 10. the anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
