On December 10, as the world observes Human Rights Day, a sobering reality casts a shadow over global reflections. According to the United Nations, a staggering 71 percent of the world's population lives in countries where inequality has increased.
This growing disparity between the rich and the poor is more than a socioeconomic concern; it threatens to hamper economic growth and fuels the potential for violence and conflict. While the wealthiest enjoy unparalleled privileges, countless individuals struggling with low incomes find it increasingly difficult to survive.
Human Rights Day serves as a crucial reminder of the need to address these challenges head-on. Bridging the inequality gap is essential not only for fostering economic stability but also for ensuring the protection of human rights and the dignity of all people worldwide.
