"Types of human rights
Human rights can be classified into three main types: (1) rights of personal integrity, (2) civil liberties, and (3) social and economic rights. Rights of personal integrity involve rights to personal safety and freedom. These include freedom from slavery, torture, and unreasonable imprisonment. Civil liberties are the rights of each person to express beliefs through words and actions. These rights include freedoms of speech, association, thought, conscience, and religion. Other civil liberties include the right to vote and run for office, and the right to marry and have a family. Social and economic rights involve basic human needs and rights of development. These include the right to food, shelter, medical care, and education; and the right to work and to form labor unions."
