Human Rights Violation: The Novelists' Perspective and Criticism

The violation of human rights in today¿s world is indeed a problem. It is not only a global issue but also a challenge to everyone. Human rights are understood as inalienable fundamental rights to which every human being is inherently entitled: rights to life, freedom from torture, freedom from slavery, right to fair trial, freedom of speech, freedom of thought, conscience and religion, freedom of movement, right to debates, right to keep and bear arms, right to sexual orientation and gender identity, right to trade, right to water and other natural resources, reproductive rights and right to national security. Unfortunately, these rights are often violated with impunity and reckless abandon. This book, Human Rights Violation: The Novelists¿ Perspective and Criticism, is a critique of the violation of human rights in various forms as depicted in Gabriel Okaräs The Voice, Tanure Ojaide¿s The Activist, Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo¿s Trafficked and Chika Unigwe¿s On Black Sisters¿ Street. The analyses, discussions and revelations that ensue are relevant to the policy makers, government, NGOs, human rights activists, parents, and security agents.
