HUMAN RIGHTS

Human rights are fundamental rights that everyone has just by the fact of being human. Their function is to protect and help us. They were created in 1948 by Eleanor Roosevelt and the Comission of the United Nations at the end of the World War II due to the fact that millions of lifes were taken in wars or slavery. 
There are 30 human rights. Some of them are well known, like the right of equality (#1: We Are All Born Free And Equal) or the right for no torture (#5: No Torture). 

However, there're some which I didn't knew and that I think that are a little bit unnoticed by our society. 
I didn't know that we has the Right to Play (#24). This right defends that everyone must have spare time during work and also everyone should have a reasonable limitation of working hours and period vacation with payment included.


I don't think that this right it's acomplished everywhere. Even in Spain there are some cases of people who work an exageration of hours for a awful income. Or people who doesn't have hollidays. I guess that not having a holliday is not as grave as not having the right to equality but in my opinion if it's a right we should respect it as much as any other.
