Human Rights and Social Justice


Listen Later

In this episode of Know About Everything, we trace the evolution of human rights and social justice — from ancient moral codes and Enlightenment philosophy to modern global movements. The episode explores how humanity's long struggle for equality gave rise to landmark moments like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the global movements led by figures such as Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela.

It highlights how social justice extends beyond legal rights to include fairness in opportunity, education, and representation. The episode also examines how technology and globalization have changed activism, giving rise to new movements such as Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, and campaigns for climate justice and gender equality.

Ultimately, it reminds listeners that the fight for human rights is never over — it is a continuous moral effort requiring empathy, awareness, and courage. Justice, it concludes, is not achieved once and for all; it must be renewed and defended by every generation.
