Dominican Republic: double abuse against women with AIDS

In the Dominican Republic women are subjected to tests of AIDS every day and if these are positive they are dismissed and discriminated.
Therefore a lot of women suffer from double discrimination, first, for being women and segond, because are people with AIDS.


In my opinion I don't understand how there may be countries which discriminate this way to women and only for having a disease. It would be just the opposite, they would help a lot to people who have AIDS. The inequality of persons still in Dominican Republic and the women are very discriminated.
Women with AIDS are not treated as people, they are treated worse than animals.

In conclusion, I hope that things will change because I don't like to see these injustices in the world, although I know that the world is full of injustices.

Human rights questions

1. What are human rights?

Human rights are commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being. Human rights are thus conceived as universal and egalitarian.

2. Why were they created?

Human rights were created because, this way, people respect and there is not violence. Mainly created to delete the esclavision and people with more power not abusing them and everybody equally.

3. How many human rights are there?

There are 30 human rights.

4. Which human right were you not familiar with? Mention an example where this human right is respected and where it is not respected.

There are many human right that are not respected like public health. Therefore, are not respected human rights in countries where public health is not provided like Spain and I disagree totally with this because health is very important for all kind of people. I also believe that would be equality of persons.
