The Anangu are an Indigenous group in Australia. One of their sacred places is Uluru, a big

rock mountain. To protect their rights and culture, the government banned people from climbing Uluru. This

helped show respect for the Anangu's beliefs and protected their land.

support themselves. 2. Reduces Poverty: When people are educated, they can earn more money and have better

live 3. Builds a Better Society: Educated people can make good choices, help others, and make

All human rights need to be protected by rights. Why?

All human rights need to be protected because:

1. Everyone is important – All people deserve to be treated fairly and with respect.

2. Rights keep us safe and happy – They help us live, learn, work, and feel free.

3. No one should be left out – If one right is taken away, others can be too.

4. They help build a better world – When everyone’s rights are protected, the world

becomes kinder and stronger.
