Rights-based approaches

Rights-based approaches prioritize the recognition and protection of human rights in addressing social issues. They emphasize that individuals have inherent rights that should be respected, such as the right to education, health, and freedom from discrimination. This perspective shifts the focus from charity or aid to ensuring that governments and institutions fulfill their obligations to protect these rights. By empowering people and communities to claim their rights, this approach aims to promote justice, equality, and accountability in policies and practices, ultimately leading to sustainable social change.
