How do hunger, poor healthcare, and dirty water make life harder for refugees?
Refugees often live in crowded camps or underserved areas where they don't have enough food, clean water, or medical help. Hunger makes people weak and sick, especially children. Dirty water can cause diseases like diarrhea and cholera. Without good healthcare, people can't get the medicine or treatment they need when they are sick or injured.
How does warfare affect an individual's fundamental rights and necessities?
Warfare harms people by taking away their fundamental rights and needs. It can destroy homes, hospitals, and schools, leaving people without food, clean water, healthcare, or safety. Many are forced to flee and live in unsafe conditions. War often leads to fear, hunger, disease, and the loss of education, especially for children. It also increases the risk of abuse and human rights violations.
How does human trafficking violate victims' human rights?
Victims of human trafficking often suffer from physical and mental abuse, injuries, and diseases. They are usually denied access to healthcare. Trafficked individuals are frequently not given enough food or are forced to work in bad conditions with little or no pay.
Why is healthy mental health important?
Maintaining good mental health is crucial because it impacts every aspect of our lives. It helps us manage stress, make good decisions, build strong relationships, and cope with challenges. When our mental health is strong, we feel more confident, focused, and motivated to reach our goals. It also supports our physical health.
