Human rights. Is it an applicable term for some privileged people?

I attended a panel about human rights where several people who came from different cultural backgrounds were discussing the difficulties they face sometimes when it comes to certain topics such as; freedom of expression, being a Muslim, Feminism, LGBTQ community and so on.

Having lived my whole life in autocratic countries, I'm just not used to such freedom, actually, it was terrifying when you even had these thoughts in mind.

The sarcastic part was that I really didn't know where to stand in the discussion because I'm literally denied all my human rights. Which right should I stand for? In which front line shall I fight?

Coming from what was supposed to be one of the safest countries in the world, Syria- which is well-known now as the country of conflict, war, ISIS and huge violations against human rights-I have to continuously change the stereotype about being the middle ages homo sapiens.

I'm denied my simplest right as a human to discover and travel the world because Syrian people are discriminated and labelled as terrorists. Similar to many Syrians I'm anti-regime and anti-opposition so literally we are the people "In between" who belong to nowhere.

As a woman, I have to fight for equality because when it comes to women, we still live in a male-dominated world where we have to be the glass ceiling breakers. Also when other women are forced to get married, dress or act in a certain way, circumcise in some parts of the world or even killed for religious or cultural reasons, I'm responsible.WE are responsible.

Children whether they come from my country or other places are starved, drowned, used and they don't have any opportunity for getting the proper education, or even feel safe as any normal kid. I'm responsible.

Educated people and academics get arrested or in a better case, laid off because of their political views. Teachers in my country teach programmed curriculums so we won't think or know our rights or what really matters. We are responsible for this.

People in many places around the world including my country can't reveal who they truly are and they might get jailed, killed and harassed for revealing their sexual orientations, for having the courage to be who they truly are. I stand for them.

And yes globally we share some of these problems but it's important to notice how diverse and frequent these problems in the middle east and Africa. Should we blame it on the culture and religion? Or is it a part of the political game to control the area?

Years and years before the modern middle east as we know now was shaped by the central powers back in WWI and while those countries were developed to be mostly "Democratic" regimes applying human rights practices, I can't help but wonder why didn't we adopt those rights as well? Why didn't these powers force human right acts if they really wanted to?

To put it in a nutshell, Syrian women whether they belong to some special community or not have layers and layers of rights to fight for,while struggling to make a decent living as alien nationalists who'll never belong to anywhere and in some point we pause and think, "Which human rights do we actually hold?"
For the rest of the world, I shall say "We are all on the raft of the Medusa".
