human rights are not optional4

Consumer rights and protection law provides the way to people to fight back

against corrupt business practices. Consumer laws are constituted to hold sellers of

products and services responsible when they want to make profit by selling the

products to consumers without right information or bargaining power. Though

there are several laws addressed to consumer rights but they are unfair. Consumer

rights laws are needed to be enforced effectively by government agencies,

parliament, attorneys general, and through the people and class action complaints

filed by victims.

Consumer Rights

Trafficking in persons is a serious crime and a grave violation of human rights. Every

year, thousands of men, women and children fall into the hands of traffickers, in

their own countries and abroad. Almost every country in the world is affected by

trafficking, whether as a country of origin, transit or destination for victims. It refers

to the sale of children and adults for commercial sexual activities or bonded labour.

This usually refers to the modern-day slavery and human trafficking is also fastest

growing crime industry across the world. The 60 percent of all victims are girls or

women who slave for enforced sexual activities. The United Nations General

Assembly has insisted to prevent, suppress and punish Trafficking In Persons,

especially women and children marked a significant milestone in international

efforts to stop the trade in people.

Human Trafficking

Children are the future of any country and they have some fundamental rights

according to constitution and law of International Human Rights. But a large

number of children in developing nations are facing troubles against education,

violence, labour bond, punished by cruel inhumane methods, pornography and

some other types of child related issues. Millions of children under 18 have been

affected by inhuman activities and violence at school, institutions and at homes.

The cases of child abuses have been increasing in the last few years. The UHRF is

committed to help the associations of the world to prevent any type of inhuman

activities against children and keep them safe.
