Rights and experiences are not always the same (ex: women have rights to get abortions, but women in pei are not permitted) Universal declaration of human rights (1948): wwii prompted the rights movement because they wanted to make sure the violations that occurred during wwii would not occur again. Human dignity: all humans are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Nondiscrimination: all humans should have access to these rights, regardless of sex, skin colour, political affiliation, etc .
