Human rights are fundamental freedoms and entitlements that all people are entitled to, regardless of their race, gender, nationality, religion, or any other status. Psychology, on the other hand, is the scientific study of the mind and human behavior. The two fields of psychology and human rights are closely intertwined, as psychology can help us to understand the psychological impact of human rights violations and to develop effective interventions to prevent and address these violations.
