Universal Human Rights - The Foundations Of The Global Goals
by The Daily Eye Team February 9 2016, 3:39 pm Estimated Reading Time: 0 mins, 36 secsThis April will mark the third anniversary of one of the world's worst industrial disasters in history. In 2013, over 1,100 workers were tragically killed during the collapse of the eight storey Rana Plaza garment factory - a factory built on swampy unstable ground without the required legal inspections.
These cases are not uncommon. Human trafficking, dangerous working conditions, unfair wages; these examples are not just a stain on the reputation of business. They are destroying lives and communities in all corners of the globe. It cannot be right in a world of increasing human progress - whether in medicine, space exploration or renewable energy - that so many people are denied the most basic human rights.
