We must stop constantly fighting for human rights and equal justice in an unjust system, and start building a society where equal rights are an integral part of the design (Human Right Quotes)
The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights (Human Right Quotes)
Human rights means protecting another’s freedom, seeing that the other person is also like oneself. Human rights is giving others security, letting them live (Human Right Quotes)
As long as women are bound by poverty and as long as they are looked down upon, human rights will lack substance (Human Right Quotes)
There is no western concern for issues of aggression, atrocities, human rights abuses and so on if there’s a profit to be made from them (Human Right Quotes)
We should not be followers of traditions that go against human rights... we are human beings and we make traditions (Human Right Quotes)
We are fighting for the right to live as free humans in this society. In fact, we are actually fighting for rights that are even greater than civil rights and that is human rights (Human Right Quotes)
The media could do a much better job, that’s for sure, especially the media that targets women... Human rights? They couldn’t care less! (Human Right Quotes)
I am not here as a public official, but as a citizen of a troubled world who finds hope in a growing consensus that the generally accepted goals of society are peace, freedom, human rights, environmental quality, the alleviation of suffering, and the rule of law (Human Right Quotes)
Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free (Human Right Quotes)
A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignities. That we humans can help each other is one of our unique human capacities (Human Right Quotes)
... let us recognize that extreme poverty anywhere is a threat to human security everywhere. Let us recall that poverty is a denial of human rights. For the first time in history, in this age of unprecedented wealth and technical prowess, we have the power to save humanity from this shameful scourge. Let us summon the will to do it (Human Right Quotes)
Human rights, human freedoms, and human dignity have their deepest roots somewhere outside the perceptible world. These values are as powerful as they are because, under certain circumstances, people accept them without compulsion and are willing to die for them (Human Right Quotes)
As people alive today, we must consider future generations: a clean environment is a human right like any other. It is therefore part of our responsibility toward others to ensure that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier, than we found it (Human Right Quotes)
The promotion of the culture of life should be the highest priority in our societies... If the right to life is not defended decisively as a condition for all other rights of the person, all other references to human rights remain deceitful and illusory (Human Right Quotes)
Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being’s entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or sovereign... You must weep that your own government, at present, seems blind to this truth (Human Right Quotes)
The moral problem of abortion is of a pre religious nature because the genetic code is written in a person at the moment of conception. A human being is there. I separate the topic of abortion from any specifically religious notions. It is a scientific problem. Not to allow the further development of a being which already has all the genetic code of a human being is not ethical. The right to life is the first among human rights. To abort a child is to kill someone who cannot defend himself (Human Right Quotes)
This must be a world of democracy and respect for human rights, a world freed from the horrors of poverty, hunger, deprivation and ignorance, relieved of the threat and the scourge of civil wars and external aggression and unburdened of the great tragedy of millions forced to become refugees (Human Right Quotes)
Maybe I’m less sensitive to these issues because I see that what people need first is economic security, and only when they have that can they afford to focus on human rights (Human Right Quotes)
Women have always been at the forefront of progressive movements. Women can be depended on when you need bodies in the streets for women’s rights and human rights (Human Right Quotes)
Our country, like every modern state, needs profound democratic reforms. It needs political and ideological pluralism, a mixed economy and protection of human rights and the opening up of society (Human Right Quotes)
All the big powers... they’ve silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right (Human Right Quotes)
To me, a feminist belongs in the same category as a humanist or an advocate for human rights. I don’t see why someone who’s a feminist should be thought of differently (Human Right Quotes)
Why do they take the taxes and accept my manual labor for nine years? Why do they accept my taxes but cannot accept the fact that I have human rights? (Human Right Quotes)
We’ve always cared more about property rights than human rights in this country. You should know that (Human Right Quotes)
Those who try to give us advice on matters of human rights do nothing but provoke an ironic smile among us. We will not permit anyone to interfere in our affairs (Human Right Quotes)
I know nothing of man’s rights, or woman’s rights; human rights are all that I recognise (Human Right Quotes)
... Is a great troll. It settles in a society, and then eats away silently. Eats more and more freedom, more humanity, more human rights, more ability to speak (Human Right Quotes)
I accept that in a free society you have to justify reductions in people’s liberties. I accept that, bearing in mind my starting point is that the most important human right is the right to life (Human Right Quotes)
Democracy, the rule of law and human rights march hand in hand. These concepts are not well understood by a good portion of the population (Human Right Quotes)
