Rights-based approaches to governance focus on integrating human rights principles into policy-making and implementation. This framework emphasizes participation, accountability, equality, and non-discrimination, ensuring that governance processes respect and promote the rights of individuals and communities. By prioritizing rights, these approaches aim to empower marginalized groups and foster more inclusive decision-making. Implementing rights-based governance can lead to more just and equitable societies, as it encourages governments to be accountable for their actions and to protect the dignity of all citizens.
