Human Rights to me means freedom and individual dignity. It is about respecting everybody, who they are and how they choose to live, as long as they are not harming anybody. I also believe all people should be free from oppression, violence, poverty and all other forms of inequality.

Human rights to me is the foundation for a stable and just society. They are the universal principles that protect each person's right to live freely regardless of their background, belief and identity. When human rights are respected, individuals can pursue their potential, and communities can thrive in peace which is something essential for a stable and resilient society.
