All citizens may be granted equal rights but all may not be able to equally exercise them. Explain.
All
citizens may be granted equal rights but all may not be able to
equally exercise them due to following factors:
Socio-economic
inequality that prevents equality of opportunity
Lack
of accessibility to legal remedies
Lack
of awareness of rights
Corruption
in the government apparatus that prevents the delivery of services
covered under these rights.
The
consequences of these factors can be seen in the following examples:
Every
child has right to education but some children are not sent to
school due to gender bias and poverty and therefore are engaged in
child labour.
Many
women are not aware that physical and mental torture by their
husband comes under domestic violence. Therefore, they are not able
to seek legal remedies.
