KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
What are Human Rights?
Human rights are the basic rights that every person has, simply because they are human. The Bill of Rights in Chapter 2 of our Constitution sets out the rights that every person in South Africa enjoys.
But these come with Responsibility
We must make sure that we respect other people’s rights if we want our rights to be respected
What are Human Rights Violations?
If a person ignores or abuses your rights, it is called a violation of those rights.
For example, if someone treats a person unfairly, purely because of their race, gender, age, ethnic group or membership of a political party then that person’s right to equality is being abused or violated.
