8/1/2020ReplyYes muranda. I agree with you. Quite a lot of key issues that Zara raised. Working towards something that motivates you is very key especially in the world of entrepreneurship cause one will be passion driven instead of money driven. Women’s rights today are violated in most parts of the world and considered less superior than men, I think we all need to fight towards this direction to ensure equality for all in terms of security and decision making, we need to have more women in leadership. Youths all over the world need to have a voice for change to protect our human rights and with technology we can help share solutions to problems that other people in different parts of the world are facing. Technology is indeed a tool that we all need to use for the betterment of man kind.

5/13/2018ReplyHuman rights also guarantee people the means necessary to satisfy their basic needs, such as food, housing, and education, so they can take full advantage of all opportunities. Finally, by guaranteeing life, liberty, equality, and security, human rights protect people against abuse by those who are more powerful.
Human rights are important in the relationships that exist between individuals and the government that has power over them. The government exercises power over its people. However, human rights mean that this power is limited. States have to look after the basic needs of the people and protect some of their freedoms.
