International Human Rights Movement

The International Human Rights Movement is a global effort to promote and protect the basic rights and freedoms inherent to all people, regardless of nationality, gender, or background. It emerged after World War II, particularly with the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. The movement advocates against discrimination, torture, and injustice, pushing for accountability through laws and organizations. Activists work to raise awareness, support victims, and influence governments to uphold human rights standards, emphasizing the belief that every individual deserves dignity, equality, and the right to live free from oppression.
