Discrimination and Equality
Discrimination refers to unfair treatment or prejudice against individuals based on characteristics like race, gender, age, or disability. This undermines their rights and access to opportunities. Equality, on the other hand, means ensuring that everyone has the same rights and chances, regardless of their differences. In the context of human rights, promoting equality means actively working to eliminate discrimination and create a society where all individuals can thrive equally, fostering respect and dignity for everyone. Protecting these principles is essential for justice and social harmony.
