Social rights

Social rights—to housing, healthcare, education, livelihood—are fundamentally different from civil rights in that they require positive action and resources to guarantee, not merely the absence of interference. Societies that enshrine social rights treat meeting human needs as a collective responsibility, not a privilege earned through market participation.
