All of us learn about the world from what they see of the world, and unfortunately this means they will learn about discrimination and injustice simply from having it occur around them. But adults can help children to understand equal rights by discussing the subject in an age-appropriate manner.
It can be hard for us to understand broad terms like "equal rights", "equal opportunities". Instead of focusing on this vocabulary adults can simply make sure that children understand what it means to show respect for all people. Helping others understand the golden rule - to treat others as they themselves would like to be treated - is a good starting point for discussions about respecting others.
Although it can be difficult it is important to stick up for your equal opportunities. Any kind of discrimination should not be tolerated and the more you speak out, the more the message will be heard.
