KNOWING YOUR RIGHTS!!!
Rights are considered to be that which is morally correct, just or honourable and or a moral or legal entitlement to have or do something. However, human rights are basic rights and freedoms that belong to each citizen in any given country from birth until death
As a result, they can be applied in any situation despite your geographical location, religious beliefs and how one choose to live his or her life. The rights enlisted in the constitution are protected by the law and share values like respect, dignity, equality and independence.
Knowing your rights will allow your day to day living much easier. For examples, knowing you have a right to inhuman treatment, respect for private and family life and even the right to personal liberty will help to deter the abuse of power from law enforcement officers/police officers. The knowledge and awareness will give you a voice that will be respected at all times.
Human rights are the foundation of the country´s legal system, therefore it is important to spread awareness to educate the population of their rights as an individual. Hence, a balanced society will be the most likely outcome.
