What does ‘Human Rights’ mean to me?
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.

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.
