Sportscasting Gender Inequality

As humans, the entire world’s population deserves their inherent, natural rights. However, the harsh reality is that the majority of the world’s population lives in counties not reinforcing human rights. A day does not go by without news reports of grave human rights abuses. We are confronted with human trafficking in India, ill-treatment of workers in China, and in many Arab states, “Women today are denied the vote and the right to drive cars” (Franck, 191). Since these countries and a countless number more don’t value human rights, it is necessary for humans to act collectively to create a movement so their rights are recognized and protected.
