Human rights

Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever their nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible. There are 30 human rights, which were created in 1948.  

After reading all the human rights, I have chosen the article 24 “The right to play”. I have decided to talk about that right because it seems obvious, but it isn’t for everybody.

Article 24.

• Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay.

At first, as I did, it seems unnecessary to call it as a “human right” because everyone rest and leisure. But unfortunately that’s not true. There are many people who work twelve or fourteen hours per day every single day. Without vacations and with a very low salary. That means that they are like slaves because they spend their whole lives working and that is unfair. For that, the right to play was created.
