In this topic I will provide three case studies of different types of abuse. Human Rights: What are Human Rights?

‘’Human rights are frequently held to be universal in the sense that all people have and should enjoy them and to be independent in the sense that they exist and are available as standards of justification and criticism, whether or not they are recognised and implemented by the legal system or officials of a country.’’ (Nickel 1992, as cited in the Internet Encyclopaedia Of Philosophy, 2014) The moral appeal of human rights has been used for a variety of purposes from resisting torture and arbitrary incarceration to demanding the end of hunger and of medical neglect. The US Declaration of Independence in 1776 identified that is was ‘’self evident’’ that every person is endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. (Sen, A, 2004) Thirteen years from this, the French declaration of the rights of man stated that ‘’all men are born and remain free and equal in rights’’. This statement caused quite a stir at the time as Jeremy Bentham (1792), British Philosopher and founder of utilitarianism stated that these claims were ‘’rhetorical nonsense’’ and invalid. Bentham insisted that a natural right is simple nonsense: natural and imprescriptible rights and that suspicions remain very alive today and that human rights in practical affairs can be perceived as ‘’bawling on paper’’.

Dignity can have different meanings to everyone, but it can be defined as being in a state of feeling worthy of being valued and respected. It also means that everyone is treated the same and no one is treated different to anyone else, thus no one feels disrespected or looked down upon by other people.
TDA 3.6 Equality, Diversity and Inclusion 1.1 Identify the current legislation and codes of practice relevant to the promotion of equality and valuing of diversity. There is various legislation and codes of practice relevant to the promotion of equality and valuing of diversity in including: • Human Rights Act 1998 – Gives further legal status to the standards on Human Rights that was set out in 1948 with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This highlighted the principle that all humans have the same rights and should be treated equally. This act also sets out the rights of all individuals and allows individuals to take action against authorities when their rights are affected. • Every Child Matters 2003 – Every Child Matters was introduced for all organisations and agencies in order to ensure they work together to ensure that they support the children they work with, between birth and 19 years, fully in order for them to achieve the 5 outcomes they set out.
How can national initiative promote anti-discriminatory practice? Anti-discrimination law refers to the law on the right of people to be treated equally.
