Minority Rights: Why Are They Important? by Chart Westcott | Mar 18, 2022 | Chart Westcott, Law, Politics
In minority rights, minority groups are afforded the same rights as majorities. This is not the case in every country, and minority groups may face difficulties or even persecution because of their minority status. This blog post will explore why minority rights are essential and how they have been historically violated.
HOW MINORITY RIGHTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE Minority rights are necessary because they ensure that all groups have the same treatment for their rights. Many minority groups in countries worldwide face persecution or discrimination because of how they dress, what language they speak, or where their ancestors come from. If minority rights were not enforced, many people would be discriminated against just based on how they look, which is wrong. Minority rights help protect these minority groups by ensuring everyone is treated equally regardless of race, gender or location.
