Introduction
Title 1: General Human Rights Issue
Principles are ideas and values developed mostly with a context-independent approach. In comparison, the practice includes the application and continuous execution of these ideas with contextual consideration. In these cases, there is a demonstration of principle negotiation as well as practice execution. In the Snowden situation, he believes that he should be given the right to vote. In addition, as an advocate of privacy his vote and any other individuals’ should be a private decision and process for those who chose to (Millward, 2016). This then extends to the question of cybersecurity as a human right. With growing campaigns over internet access becoming a human right, cybersecurity and cyber peace is an even bigger concern and area of concentration. The UN has participated in regulation and setting up structures that will transform these principles into practical practices by synchronizing global internet security (Ahmad, 2017). With conservative governments such as Egypt still regulating human rights organizations, the sustainability of actual human rights remains highly threatened (Shakelford, 2017).
Title 2: Poverty, Inequality and Discrimination
Microsoft is one of the most recent tech companies to face a law suit on the basis of gender discrimination. The complaint was launched following a worker who was surpassed for promotions for other male workers who were less qualified (O’brien, 2016). In addition, she cited a male worker who sexually harassed other women as simply being transferred. Povertyand race are equally dominant sources of discrimination against women. For example, Nicole Bolden, sued Missouri traffic authorities for targeting black motorists like her based on accusations of “being too poor to pay traffic fines”Guardian (2016). These types of discrimination are rampant in public service and corporations that persistently neglect to uphold rights of both women and women across multidimensional levels such as religion and social class. With more bills being passed to protect certain rights, the biggest challenge is balancing particular rights with other areas of concentration. Ideally, enforcement of laws must be carried out in diligence and preservation of integrity and respect (Walsh, 2017).
Title 3: Ethnic Minorities/Indigenous People
The Pakistan government has rolled out programs to empower minority groups in employment and education. This move is in recognition of the role that these people play in the economy and social progression. With more support being equally allocated to religious minorities, women from these groups are gaining more freedom in employment that allows them to express or remain true to their religions (Deardan, 2016). Efforts towards cultural awareness have continued to gain more support on both economic and social levels (Walters, 2016). Indigenous groups are also gaining ore rights and acceptance for their roles in preserving the environment, utilizing their resources and still promoting sustainable operations (Zuberi, 2016).
Title 4: Women’s Rights
Throughout history, women have continued to face extreme human rights abuses for various reasons. For example, in shocking developments, women in Pakistan who rejected marriage proposals have been burnt by their families in what are described as honor killings. These human rights violations have caused international uproar and forced the international community to put the spotlight on moreinstances of human rights violations against women (BBC Asia, 2016). In Yemen, a story of an 11 year old girl who was married off reveals the desperate situation of women rights that transcends into children rights (Raghavan, 2016). In Liberia, the UN Development Program has facilitated a group of female motorcycle riders to surpass gender barriers and gain acceptance not only as a group but as a brand and growing business (Chhabra, 2016). This hasnot been without challenges even to the female riders who have previously been robbed and threatened by male passengers. Other male riders have also directly and indirectly intimidated this group. Even so, government regulation in collaboration with UN legislation continues to offer more support and eliminate life threatening situations for women based on gender-based prosecution.
Title 5: Human Trafficking
For many years, human trafficking has been dismissed as a non-issue. With more countries denying the extent of this issue and limited statistics deflating the intensity, human trafficking cartels have become extremely sophisticated in a post-slavery world. With extremely established global networks, a heartbreaking story of a human trafficking survivor highlights how she was raped about 43, 200 times in period of four years (Romo, 2015). In Mexico, it is common story for underage girls to be kidnapped and forced into prostitution, exposure to sexual diseases and pregnancies. Furthermore, these girls are physically abused and beaten by their managers, given insufficient amounts of food and exposed to extreme psychological pressure. In a recent story, Lithuania based girls from an orphanage are forced into local prostitution before they are moved to other countries (Equality Now, 2017a). This story reveals a strong global human trafficking network that extends to Eastern and Western Europe (Equality Now, 2017a). While there are various success stories of survivors, many more women and young girl remain lost to this process. In growing statistics, young boys are also being exposed to human trafficking for prostitution. Most of these women and girls having undergone years of abuse and torture are unable to recover despite therapy and social support. Coincidentally, many of these children are lured from disadvantaged backgrounds and dysfunctional families in the promise of a better life. It is beyond comprehension how other women and men can expose girls as young as ten into this kind of abuse and psychological trauma to the point of permanent damage. In African and Asian settings, Female Genital Mutilation is a persistent phenomenon that continues to injure and even kill more girls (Equality Now, 2017b).
