Human Values of Campaign for Women and Child Rights (CWCR)

We visualize the world with beautiful and healthy environment hence, all humans, birds, animals and other creatures of the nature must be protected in terms of their rights and all the humans should utilize the forest, land, water and air at minimum and as per the necessity and make an endeavour to protect and preserve them for the next human generation. The whole world and the society should be governed by the same law hence everybody everywhere in the world should follow the democratic rules and regulations. But no rule or law should be made which poses the challenges for the existence of humans, animals, birds and other creatures of this environment. In addition to it, they must not be suppressed, oppressed and violated the rights. The world can rest at peace if no any human violates the rights of each other.

Let the human relations be intact. No woman, man, child, aged, black or white, national or international should be discriminated on the basis of caste, religion, village, poor, region, society or the nation. Every human has equal rights which he/she should get.

Every human is entitled to participate and has right to benefit him/her of every aspect of development in the age of science which every human should get. In the human life cycle from birth till death, all humans are supposed to play the responsibilities of child, adolescent, adult and aged that’s what from childhood to aged role of human life should not be deprived of the development. We are also the part of the human society of this world that’s what we think and do such that if all did not get the justice we also would not and if we get the justice by practicing the discrimination with others or we do not discourage the discrimination then we will also not get the justice at any step. Therefore we intend to make the world free from exploitation, just and environment loving.
