Human rights violations occur when individuals or groups are denied their basic rights and freedoms, often by governments or authorities. These violations can take many forms, including torture, discrimination, and unlawful detention, impacting the dignity and well-being of affected individuals. Such violations not only harm those directly involved but also undermine the rule of law and societal trust. Organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch work tirelessly to document and combat these abuses, advocating for justice and accountability to ensure that everyone can enjoy their fundamental rights.
