What does it mean?
Human rights are the basic rights and
freedom that belong to every person in
the world from birth to death.
Human rights include the right to life and
liberty, freedom from slavery and torture,
freedom of opinion and expression, the
right to work and education and many
more.
Introduction
Human rights are rights that all people have regardless of their country,
gender, sexuality, ethnicity or any other trait.
Among other this include physical integrity rights such as not being
killed or tortured; civil rights: such as practicing their religion and
moving freely in their country, political rights; such as freedom of
speech and association.
The protection of these rights allow people to live the lives they want
and to thrive in them. Human rights have become much more
protected, but this varies a lot between countries. And not everyone
enjoys the same protection; people are often marginalized because of
their gender and ethnicity. The protection of human rights has
changed over time, how it differ across countries, and how it varies
between people of different genders, sexualities and ethnicities.
 NCHR
The National Commission for Human Rights (NCHR) is an independent statutory body established within a specific
country, in this case, Pakistan, with a mission to promote and protect human rights within that country. NCHR focuses
on addressing human rights issues and ensuring their protection.

Insight On Human Right
Human rights have become much more protected
around the world.
Human rights are much better protected than they
were hundred years ago,
In the late 18th century, human rights were poorly
protected. In many countries, people's physical
integrity, private and political civil liberties were not
respected by their governments
Physical Integrity Rights:
people are free and protected from government torture and political
killings

Private Civil Liberties:

People are free from forced labour, have property rights and enjoy
freedom of movement (move freely within to and from the country)
and religion (choose and practice their faith).

organizations can form and operate freely) and expression they can
violate their views, and the media can present different political
perspectives.
Transgender People Right:
Despite the transgender rights act of
2018<transgender people continued to face violence
and discrimination. In September, Senator Mushtaq
Ahmad Khan of the Islamic political party Jamaat-e-
Islami challenged the act in the federal sharrat court,
alleging that it did not conform with the injunctions of
Islam under the constitution and “promotes
homosexuality". The council of Islamic ideology urged
the government to form a committee to review the
legislation.
