Human Rights Violations

Human rights violations occur all around the world whether it's the genocide of millions because of beliefs or if it’s the fact that people are left with restrictions that others are not affected by, similar to the segregation that previously existed in the United States . One violation of human rights that occurred in Australia that has caused controversy was the sterilization of disabled women in Australia. This sterilization caused an uproar because of the violation of a woman’s right to produce offspring, regardless of her mental status. This forced sterilization on the mentally disabled women of Australia became a situation in which the UN became involved because of the violation of human rights. Globally, it it considered inhumane to

Females bodies are forcefully mutilated and depreciated to supposably better their lives when they become older despite health complications and failed child birth. Mother’s who cared about her daughter's future embraced circumcision. At a very young age mothers would take their daughters to an Elder with little to no education about the female reproductive organs” slicing off all or part of a woman's clitoris and labia as part of a ceremony that is often conducted around the time that the woman reaches puberty”(Khazan) A female who was not circumcised wasn't considered as normal and thought never to be married to a desirable husband. People felt like “ [...it will make a woman look more beautiful in the eyes of her husband…]”(Corbett). Woman depreciated their self-worth by mutilating their bodies to please or to be accepted

Female circumcision is based on gender oppression and degradation of women. It is the result of a patriarchal society trying to sexually control women. Women are stripped of their sexuality and their virginity is controlled until they are married. As in most patriarchal societies, marriage is essential to the economic survival of women. Therefore, in the minds of these people, the benefits gained from this operation for the girl and her family far outweigh any potential danger. They look forward to circumcision as a coming-of-age ritual, which is necessary to maintain health, virginity and family honor. Circumcised women are considered beautiful while uncircumcised women are considered ugly, unclean, and unfit for marriage. So when parents request a genital procedure for their daughter, they are only seeking to enhance their child's acceptance into their culture and assure her desirability as a wife.

Female circumcision has been a cultural tradition practiced in different parts of the world for many years in order to secure virginity until marriage. In Africa female genital mutilation tradition is a part of the Muslim culture and parts of the Middle East, for the women to be desirable by her husband. (JPEG) Consequently, girls the ages of 4 through 14 are to endure the severe pains of female circumcision in order to not betray their culture and family beliefs. (Ali, 2016) In the US, the estimated number of females between 15 and 49, who are either at risk of genital mutilation or who have already undergone a procedure, has reached more than 500,000, triple the amount reported in the 1990 national census. (Female genital mutilation in the US tripled in 25 years, 2015) This controversial practice performed on females lead advocates to believe that this is a form of female genital mutilation that must come to an end. (Ali, 2016)

I totally agree with your post and ideas but I wonder if the patient knew she was pregnant would she still feel the same way or would she want the fetus to be saved. Gross violation of autonomy and constitutional rights. It is one thing to allow a woman to die who has been determined brain-dead, but there is another person in her womb whose life depends on her staying alive for at least another few months. Somehow, I cannot say for sure, but somehow, I believe even she would prefer to be kept on life-support, if it meant her child would survive. Can you give me a link for this Texas law? I do not see how it does not contradict a whack of other laws and possibly the constitution. If this fetus manages to survive to term, I wonder if the husband

Therefore, the inability of the family to have their detention reviewed by a court violated article 9(4). The Human Rights Committee said that domestic review of the lawfulness of detention ought to include deliberation of Australia’s obligations under the ICCPR. The Human Rights Council found an added breach of article 2(3) (the right to an effective remedy), despite this breach not being affirmed explicitly by “A”. Australia rejected the Human Rights Committee’s interpretation of the Covenant and declined to compensate the “A” family. The Human Rights Council has deemed this response from the State Party unsatisfactory.

Suggestions to decrease drug errors and harm is for medical professionals to utilize the “five rights” which are the right individual, the right medication, the right dosage, the right route, and the given at the right time. The five rights ought to be known as the goal of the drug procedures not the “be all and end all” of the safety of medications. The five rights concentrated on the medical professional’s performance and not on their human aspects and system flaws that could possibly cause implementing the tasks to be very challenging or impossible. It’s the physician or specialists job is not all about attaining the five rights, but it’s to follow the rules that were created within the organization to generate these results and outcomes

The practice of female circumcision is happening in areas across the globe such as Africa, Asia and the Middle East. The United states and Serval others counties look at this as a vicious act of genital mutilation and an outright human rights violation (Clay, 2017, p.g.22). The practice of female circumcision has gone on for years as a cultural rite of passage in some countries. Other countries see it as a religious belief and others see it as a way to make their daughter more desirable for a husband The author reports that even through in the United States that many women more than half a million are still at risk of having their genital cut from the CDC reports in 2012 (Clay, 2017,

“Egyptian Girl Dies During Female Circumcision:” the headlines read in national newspapers this week. The girl’s mother, a nurse, and the girl’s father, a surgeon: both highly educated, and both made the choice to let two of their daughters undergo the procedure just a day apart. The topic, female circumcision, gets little attention in America, and when it does, many times it falls on deaf ears. The 2008 Egyptian ban on the procedure should have ended the perceived war between cultural rights and human rights, but then why the headline eight years after the ban? Can a tradition dating back to the ancient Egyptians come to an end, especially one so vastly intertwined in the identity of Northern and Central African women? Western medical doctors

In some cultures, the common practice of Female Genital Mutilation in Africa and the Middle East, are causing concerns amongst these young girls.

Harm inflicted on gay people is sometimes caused when people try to force people to fit gender roles.Violence can be influenced when people are around peers, causing these acts to usually occur in front of or with friends who are also homophobic. These unruly behaviors stem from people who want to have close relationships mixing with an over exaggerated sense of masculinity. One attacker stated that they feel as though LGBT people should be ashamed of being different, and another abuser targeted gay people for not conforming to his idea of masculinity (Franklin).

In our ever-transparent world where our actions as a nation are continuously scrutinized, it is exceptionally important that we begin to strengthen our group mentality when it comes to international relations. As a powerful and resourceful nation, we have a lot to offer the international community. Instead of embarking on our own humanitarian missions, we could be more effective by strengthening institutions like the United Nations or the International Monetary Fund. The United States seems to particularly enjoy acting from a position of perceived moral superiority; even after the egregious human rights violations that took place at Abu Ghraib (Walt, S, 2011). The United States has also refused to sign a human rights treaty since 2002, despite condemning other countries for violations of human rights (Human Rights Library). According

“Female Circumcision” is a global violence against women. According to a Sociology textbook: Essentials of Sociology, “Female circumcision surgery occurs seven to ten days after birth, but in others it is not performed until girls reach adolescence. Among most groups, it takes place between the ages of 4 and 8” (285). The textbook also states that about 140 million females have been circumcised worldwide. This practice takes different shapes in different cultures. There are women who are strong proponents of this practice and wish for the culture of women circumcision to continue. Some consider it beneficial because it tends to reduce the sexual desire exhibited by females. They also think that an uncircumcised woman has a lesser chance of finding a fitting marriage partner. The Sociology textbook confirms this

When the topic of human rights violations is brought up in regards to the Middle East, it is likely that countries such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Syria are among the first to come to mind. Although Jordan does not have nearly as many violations as the aforementioned, several civil liberties are being consistently violated despite the country’s commitment to human rights and national security. Jordan has been one of the steadiest allies of the United States in the fight against terrorism as well as being an advocate for creating and maintaining peace in the Middle East, but what Jordan may be applauded for is also a cause of conflict on the human rights front.
