Poverty Violates Human Rights

"Coming together with those furthest behind build an inclusive world of universal rights and dignity"

Rights; perhaps one of the most controversial topics that we have ever had.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is important to recall the fundamental connection between extreme poverty and human rights, and that people living in poverty are disproportionately affected by many human rights violations.

This year, the UN is looking to put a stop to global poverty. When I was reading about the theme on the website, it was quite interesting.

Mr. Joseph Wresinski is one of the few people who has connected human rights and poverty.

He appealed to the Human Rights Commission to examine the question of extreme poverty and human rights and eloquently captured the connection between human rights and extreme poverty with this : “Wherever men and women are condemned to live in extreme poverty, human rights are violated. To come together to ensure that these rights be respected is our solemn duty.”

I've never thought about that. I've never thought that if human beings were to be reprobated to live in such hard times, that their rights would be violated.

When people living in poverty share their experiences, it shows how we can achieve greater social inclusion by enabling people from all walks of life to come together to respect the human rights and dignity of people living in poverty. It underscores the importance of reaching out to people living in poverty and building an alliance around their priorities with citizens from all backgrounds to end extreme poverty. It recognizes the important mutual roles and relationships we have with each other based on our common and equal dignity.

That's why we must all come together and unite as one. We must all understand each other and help one another in life, so that no human gets left behind. Poverty is no joke. It's really hard to live without anything, and just for us to support people that are suffering from poverty, that alone gives them the strength to continue on.

Teknolohiya: Ang Daan sa Mabuting Ugnayan

Ang ating gadgets ay nakakatulong sa maraming bagay. Halos lahat na ng mga tao dito sa mundo ay may sariling gadget. Marami tayong ginagawa gamit ang mga gadget natin, kagaya ng paglalaro, pagnood, pagsaliksik at kung ano-ano pa. Talagang pinadali ng gadgets ang ating buhay. Sa tulong ng teknolohiya at gadgets, halos lahat ay pwede nang magawa sa isang pindot lang. Paano kung gagamitin natin ang ating gadgets sa pakikipagugnayan? Pwede nang magawa yan ngayon. Dahil sa teknolohiya, pwede mo nang makipagugnayan sa kapwa. Mas pinadali na ngayon ang pakikipagugnayan. Imbes na magsulat ka pa ng liham para makipag-usap sa taong malayo sa iyo, pwede mong gamitin ang iyong cellphone para kausapin ang tao. Ang teknolohiya ay nagiging isang daan sa mabuting ugnayan. Hangga't maari, gamitin natin ang ating gadgets para sa mabuti at di para sa masama. Wag nating gamitin ang ating gadgets na sumira ng buhay ng kapwa.
