Everyone has basic rights under the U.S. Constitution and civil rights laws. Everyone should learn and know about your rights, civil rights and how to exercise them, and what to do when your rights are violated. One must stand up to support and protect civil rights in daily life and begin to empower people around the world.
Let’s know about 7 simple steps you can secure your civil rights, as well as others-
Establish Women Rights
Every woman should have the freedom to make her own choices and claim her rights. Since the beginning of time till this day women and girls are still denied and dominated in ways to stop them to flourish in every region of the world. This gender discrimination shouldn’t be done anymore and women must secure their rights as well as men and the whole world. We must support and establish women’s rights to ensure all women are respected, valued, and realized.
Know Your Rights
According to UN General Assembly, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights UDHR is a list of human rights inherent to all people. UN pledged to protect and promote these rights but before you need to know about them, for example- Identify your Rights, Protect and Promote them in your Personal Life and Professional Life, and implement.
Listen to others’
There’s a saying that ‘the most precious gift anyone can give another is to spare them time and listen to them’ which is the most appropriate one. This has incredible power to connect with people of the world. Securing rights also means empowering survivors and people facing injustices is by honoring and respecting their stories.
No more Discrimination!
Discrimination has a way of creeping up in places and ruining positivity. If you see someone else stand up, stand with them! If they talk, you talk, if they fight, fight back with them against any wrong deeds. When we have each other’s support, there won’t be any discrimination among people of the world. There are people who help and uplift others than tear people down with words or hate and vice versa but the first one is more, so it is a great opportunity for us all to act together, to establish equity, equality, and fairness, and wash away discrimination.
Speak up
Everyone must speak their heart out about the thing they care about. Advocacy and communication are important elements to know about rights and talk about them. One brave voice is enough to open up a channel for others to share their experiences and support human rights. So, speak up, help others to raise their voice, and create a community.
Social movements
A wonderful way to stay connected to social movements to know about human rights, civil rights, and all the movements happening around the world is by engaging on social media platforms, like Instagram and Twitter. People who work out of the box for humans and civil rights always keep updating their data on social media so to let the world know about their way to make a difference in the world. They do also offer campaigns for people to get involved with. If anyone wants to work with civil rights must join them.
Volunteer or donate
A very vital option for securing civil rights is to devote yourself to people which mostly indicates participating in volunteers, doing social work, or donating to global orgs. There are so many NGOs that support human rights around the world to empower communities to escape poverty and find resilience from natural disasters. Joining any of the nonprofits will surely let you enable your and others’ civil rights to be secure.
