Question

Give any two examples of human rights violations.

Answer 1

Hint: Human rights violation is defined as the economic, social and cultural rights of humans which are violated or failed to be performed by the State or any authority hindering their protection.

Complete answer:
Violations are acts which are performed directly or indirectly by the state due to which security or safety of individuals are at risk. This can be in the form of police, judges, lawyers or any government officer who engages himself in the illegal practices. This leads to positive as well as negative impacts, i.e. for the authorities it is positive as they get bribed involving money, creating a position of power to influence, people fear from them and agree to their conditions etc. On the other hand the public who are under the control have to bear the negative causes such as discrimination, brutality, harassment, mob lynching etc. All these situations contribute to violation of human rights.
Some of the examples include –

Child Labour – It has been one of the prominent examples since ages and still continued in today’s generation too where children under the age of 14 years are forced to work or such circumstances are created which enable them to work which can be poverty, lack of resources, threatening of life, taking advantage of their situations etc.

Girl Trafficking – It has also been a serious problem of concern for girls today where they are forced to involve themselves in illegal work just for money, to help their families for survival they have to work according to the conditions, bride buying etc. All these scenarios have increased the danger for humans on this planet.

Note: Various laws have been made for the protection of human rights such as National Human Rights Commission of India, United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, Universal Declaration of Human Rights etc.
