"Human rights" is a term frequently used but seldom defined. What rights should belong to every human being? Discuss.

 Humans are interesting beings. They make their own rules and regulations and hardly follow them. Human right is a big example. Countries and different organisations make thousands of doctrines on human rights but there are still so many people in the world that are not even aware of their rights and people do not even bother to make them aware. The doctrines made by the United Nations state that every human has a right to freedom and that everyone should be treated equally. But when I look around myself, I do not see everyone following it. Why are women still treated like reproducing machines in some part of the world? Why they are not allowed to go out without a man escorting them? Why is it legal for a man to have more than one wife in some part of the world? Why do some women have to suffocate in a Burkha? Why do some of them have to fight for the right to drive in their own city? There are still so many countries where women are not considered equal as men. And according to me, women rights are the most important human rights, if they are followed by every person on this earth, other rights such as right to equality, right to freedom of speech and right to education will be covered, because most of the time women are the ones who get suppressed and with them all these rights.
It is completely inhuman to think of women as being inferiors. They are an integral part of the society and deserve to have all the rights that men have and they deserve to be respected. It is a shame to humanity to see women in some part of the world who are treated as a piece of furniture in the house when there are ladies who are working and earning all by themselves. We should at least give them a chance to prove what they can do for the society.
We humans think that we are the strongest and we have the power and the mind to make all the right decisions but we should always remember; there is a difference between a human being and being human.
