Are individuals empowered and do they understand their human rights or when the rights

are being violated. provide 5 reasons

This depends for example on where the individuals live and for example in many countries of Western Europe people might be relatively well informaed of their rights

But generally I believe people are not too empowered because:

1) they don't challenge unfavorable work contracts

2) they don't take sick leave even if they can

3) they don't challenge their supervisors out of fear of loosing a job

4) they rarely seek justice in court

5) they might not be aware of their right to sick leave for example
