“The essence of human rights is the right to have rights.”
— Hannah Arendt

Simplified Meaning:
Being human means that everyone should have certain basic protections and freedoms. These are called human rights, and they belong to everyone no matter who they are or where they come from. For example, imagine a child in school who should have the right to education, safety, and to be treated fairly. If the child is not allowed to go to school because of their background, then their human rights are being ignored. The core idea is that the most important human right is the ability to have other rights respected and upheld. By making sure everyone can exercise their basic human rights, like being able to speak freely, practice religion, or receive an education, we ensure that every person can live with dignity and equality.
