Human Right Quotes

“agama tidak lagi menjadi syariat dan jalan kehidupan
sebaliknya menjadi bahan untuk dirobek dicaing-caing
oleh akal fikiran dan pisau purba zaman pencerahan
yang diasah oleh kata-kata demi kata-kata - kebebasan

(Perjalanan 2)”
― S.M. Zakir, Perjalanan Sang Zaman

“Whoever, wherever, you are, may your travels begin and end with the fundamental human right called love.”

“From cradle to grave, learning is essential to being human. Not only that, it is a human right. The United Nations views education as “a fundamental human right and essential for the exercise of all other human rights.” When we want to deny someone the full practice of their humanity, withholding learning from them is often a measure we employ. Women, the poor, even entire ethnic populations have been kept uneducated for the purpose of control or marginalization. To be human is to learn. To deny human learning is to set ourselves up as God, albeit a malevolent version of him.”

“Anna Eleanor Roosevelt was born in 1884 into a distinguished New‑York noble family. She endured a lonely and criticised childhood, lost both parents at a young age and slowly built‑up self‑confidence through education. She married her distant‑relative Franklin Roosevelt in 1905 and raised six children amid early‑life hardships.
When her husband was stricken with paralysis, Eleanor stepped out of family life and turned into his reliable political scout. She travelled tens‑of‑thousands of miles across America, visited poor‑class communities, workers and relief projects, and delivered firsthand social reports to the president. As the longest‑serving American First‑Lady, she broke old‑time traditions, ran press conferences, radio speeches and personal newspaper columns to voice public demands.
After Franklin Roosevelt passed away in 1945, Eleanor launched her career as a famous‑diplomat for the United‑Nations. As the leading female member of the Human‑Rights Commission, she devoted herself to drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She fought hard for racial equality, women’s rights and underprivileged groups, earning the well‑known title “the World’s First Lady”.
Until her death in 1962, she kept working on social‑welfare movements and female‑equality campaigns. Her famous quote “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” has inspired generations of women. From an insecure little‑girl to a worldwide human‑rights icon, her whole‑life journey proves that independence and kindness can shape history.”
