Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ESCR) are a set of human rights that ensure individuals can meet their basic needs and participate fully in society. These rights include the right to work, education, health, and an adequate standard of living. They aim to promote social justice and equality, allowing everyone to enjoy a decent quality of life. These rights are recognized in international documents, such as the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Governments are responsible for respecting, protecting, and fulfilling these rights, ensuring that all individuals have access to essential services and opportunities for personal and community development.
