Human rights are the basic rights allow us to develop fully and use our human qualities, intelligence, talents, conscience and to satisfy our spiritual and other needs.

The data were collected through a structured questionnaire using convenient sampling method. 157 completed questionnaires (78.5 percent) were used for the current study. Being treated fairly regardless of gender, race, disability or any other differences was ranked -1. 58 per cent of the respondents agreed that human rights are meaningful to them in their day today life and have to follow it. 63 per cent of the respondents agreed that it is important to have a law that protects human rights in textile units.
