rights of ethnic minorities

Ethnic minorities have rights that protect them from unfair treatment and discrimination due to their cultural, linguistic, or racial differences. These rights ensure they can maintain their unique identities, access equal opportunities, and participate fully in society—such as in education, politics, and economic activities. Laws and policies often aim to promote equality, prevent hate crimes, and preserve cultural heritage. Recognizing these rights helps create inclusive communities where everyone has dignity and the chance to thrive, regardless of their ethnic background.
