What are the universal human rights? - Benedetta Berti?

Universal human rights are rules that everyone should follow, so all people can live happy and safe lives, no matter where they're from or who they are.

Imagine you have a big, colorful toy box full of all kinds of toys. Every child gets to pick their favorite toy when it's their turn to play. That’s fair, right? Well, universal human rights are like that toy box, they give every person on Earth the chance to be happy and safe.

What do these rules cover?

  • You should get to eat enough food, just like you need snacks after a long day at school.
  • You should be able to learn and grow, just like how you learn new games with your friends.
  • You should not be treated badly or hurt, like when someone pushes you during playtime.

These rules are for everyone, boys, girls, tall people, short people, people who speak different languages. They help make sure life is fair and kind for all of us, just like a good game where everyone plays by the same rules.
