South east asian programme on the equal status and human rights of women

Rights are recognized as such because they are considered to be ‘correct’ or ‘just.’ In the English language the two meanings of right relate: you have a ‘right’ to something because it is considered ‘right’ or correct. A right is something owed to a person (which they deserve), or it can also apply to a condition they should be free from. Thus, the concept of a right can be both simple and complex. Put simply, a right is something a person is rightly entitled to, free to do, or protected by. There are a wide variety rights: consumer rights, passenger rights, citizen rights, viewer rights, property rights, student rights, academic rights, visiting rights, and so on. Each one implies a person’s right to do something. The complex response involves understanding the components of the legal concept of a right, which includes a number of features. First, a right must relate to an object; that is, the particular thing a right provides, allows, or ensures. This is the content of the right, and for human rights these objects are detailed in laws and treaties. For each type of right there are specific privileges: for instance, a student has a right to ask questions in a classroom, borrow books from a library, and have a fair opportunity to graduate. A driver has a right to use the roads, a passenger to ride a public bus, and so on
