Modern human rights are often described as universal and inalienable; indivisible; interdependent and interrelated.

The UNFPA describes these terms at thislinkLinks to an external site.:

"[Human Rights] are universal because everyone is born with and possesses the same rights, regardless of where they live, their gender or race, or their religious, cultural or ethnic background. Inalienable because people's rights can never be taken away.

They apply to all equally, and all have the right to participate in decisions that affect their lives.
