I. Inroduction
Human rights are fundamental to creating a worth living as they ensure the dignity, equality, and well-being of
individuals. They provide a framework for fair and equitable decision- making, protecting society's most vulnerable
and upholding the principles of justice and freedom. Human rights encompasses a wide range of rights, including
the right to life, liberty, education, society that values the inherent worth and dignity of every person, fostering a
sense of belonging, inclusion, and social cohesion.

The problem is that without the recognition and protection of human rights, individuals may face
discrimination, marginalization, and exploitation, preventing them from living a life of dignity and
fulfillment. Human rights violations can manifest in various forms, such as systemic discrimination, lack
of access to basic necessities like healthcare and education, and restrictions on freedom of speech and
expression.

It is a problem because when individuals' human rights are not respected, their well-being and overall
quality of life are compromised. Without access to basic rights and freedoms, individuals may struggle to
meet their basic needs, feel excluded from society, and suffer from injustice and inequality. This can lead
to a sense of powerlessness, social unrest, and a breakdown of trust between individuals and their
communities.

The solution lies in upholding and promoting human rights principles at individual, societal, and
institutional levels. This requires a comprehensive approach that includes legal frameworks, policies,
and practices that guarantee the protection of human rights. It also involves creating a culture of respect
for human rights, fostering awareness and understanding of these rights, and holding accountable those
who violate them.

It should be solved because when human rights are upheld, individuals can live in a society that values
their dignity, equality, and well-being. The protection of human rights contributes to social cohesion,
justice, and stability. By ensuring that everyone has equal opportunities and access to basic rights,
society can achieve sustainable development, foster inclusivity and diversity, and promote a sense of
belonging for all its members.

The purpose of this study is to explore the role of human rights in creating a society that promotes
worth living. It aims to analyze the impact of human rights violations on individuals' quality of life and
well-being and highlight the importance of upholding and protecting these rights. The study seeks to
provide insights and recommendations for policymakers, human rights activists, and organizations
working towards creating a society that values the inherent worth and dignity of every individual.

A. Statement of problem
This source provides a comprehensive explanation of what human rights are, their origins, and their
importance in protecting the dignity and worth of individuals.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a foundational document that outlines the fundamental
human rights to which all individuals are entitled. It serves as a reference point for understanding the
role of human rights in upholding human worth.

This source explores the importance of human rights education in promoting awareness, understanding,
and respect for human rights. It highlights the role of education in empowering individuals to recognize
their own worth and advocate for the protection of human rights.

The OHCHR provides an overview of human rights, their universality, and their significance in preserving
the inherent worth and dignity of every person. It emphasizes the role of human rights in promoting
equality, justice, and freedom for all individuals.

dignity, regardless of their background or characteristics. This protection contributes to a life worth
living by allowing individuals to maintain their self-worth and sense of value.

choices that are essential for their well-being and fulfillment. This autonomy allows them to live
according to their own values, aspirations, and priorities, enhancing their overall quality of life.

social, economic, or political status. This ensures that everyone has a fair chance to access education,
healthcare, employment, and other essential services and resources, enabling them to live a fulfilling

fairness within societies. This promotes social cohesion and harmony, as individuals are more likely to
cooperate and work together when they feel that their rights and worth are recognized and protected.
