Human rights commission

Hi there, a Human Rights Commission is like a group of people whose job is to make sure that everyone is treated fairly and equally. They work to protect the rights of people who may be treated unfairly because of things like their skin color, how they look or their beliefs.

Let's imagine you have a toy that you really like, but one day your friend comes over and takes the toy away from you without asking. You might feel upset because you didn't get to play with your toy and you feel like your friend didn't treat you fairly.

Now, let's imagine that someone is not allowed to go to school or work because they look different or because they have different beliefs from other people. This is not fair and it goes against their human rights.

So, the Human Rights Commission works to make sure that everyone is treated fairly, no matter who they are or what they believe. They do this by investigating complaints of discrimination and taking action against those who treat others unfairly.

In conclusion, a Human Rights Commission is like a superhero team that fights for fairness and equality for all people.
