DEMOCRACY AND
HUMAN RIGHTS
Evaluate own position when dealing with
discrimination and human rights violations

If you evaluate your position on discrimination and human rights violation, you critically
analyse your viewpoints, behaviour, opinions and attitudes towards these issues. You
consider your position by taking The Bill of Rights into account.
Your participation in discussions, projects, campaigns and events that address
discrimination and human rights violations
Bill of Rights

‘This Bill of Rights is a cornerstone of our democracy in South Africa. It


enshrines the rights of all people in our country and affirms the democratic
values of human dignity, equality and freedom.’ This is the first sentence of
the Bill of Rights.
Examples of some of the rights are:
 to be treated equally;
 to have dignity and self-respect;
 to have your own opinion and views and to follow any religion you
chose;
 to express your ideas,
 views and opinions freely, as long as they don’t violate the rights of
others;
 to live and work in a healthy environment;
 to be treated fairly at work;
 to speak any language you chose
 to have access to basic health care.
Discrimination

If you discriminate against others, you treat them unjustly, unfairly, and
unequally because they are, or you think they are, different from you. An
example of discriminatory behaviour is calling people instulting names
because of their race, their age or their religion or because of some physical
or mental disability. Discrimination is a violation of human rights.
Human rights violations

Human rights violations mean hurting, disrespecting or acting against


someone’s rights. If you call someone names you are being disrespectful to
that person. You are violating her rights to dignity.
If you kill someone, you are violating her or his right to life. Some learners
violate other people’s rights to privacy by posting their private information
on Facebook.
