"Les droits de l'homme ne sont pas seulement violés par le terrorisme la répression ou l'assassinat mais aussi par des structures économiques injustes qui créent d'énormes inégalités."

Simplified Meaning:

When we think about human rights being violated, we often imagine terrible acts like terrorism or murder. But there's another way people's rights can be harmed that's less obvious: when the way money and resources are distributed is very unfair. For example, if a few people in a country are extremely rich while many others are very poor, this can lead to a lot of suffering. Poor people might not have access to basic things like food, education, or healthcare, which can trap them in a cycle of poverty. This unfairness in the economy can be just as damaging as more violent acts because it affects people's ability to live a decent life. To make society better, it's important to not only stop violent crimes but also to create fair economic systems where everyone has a chance to succeed and have a good life.
