What are human rights/how are they protected?

Human rights are fundamental rights that all human beings possess regardless of their race, ethnicity, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, residence, religion or any other status. These rights cannot be earned and they cannot be taken away, but they can be repressed or violated by individuals, nations or governments. While there are a number of national and international laws in place to protect human rights, every person has an affirmative duty to also promote and protect these rights. Individuals can promote human rights locally by participating in activist events, or professionally by becoming a human rights lawyer or working for a human rights organization.
