Human Ri�hts Viol�tion� Human rigl3ts are the rigl�ts tlzat every sirtgie person has. They are the rights that deime how humans should be treated within sacieties. It doesn't mattes• who yot� ag•e yoL� are entitled to these rights beca�se you're hilman. Even though these righfis s(�ouid be respectecl, many peaple i�,more them, �vhether by accident or on pu�pose, and deprive then� fram othe�-s by telling them tliey don't or she�uid not have cei tain rights becatase af certain criteria.
