Article 25

The Right to an Adequate Standard of Living-

"Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself [or herself] and of his [or her] family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his [or her] control."

If one is not able to care for their own self, whether it is because of a disability or unfortunate circumstances, they are entitled to receive help from the government to live their life with dignity like anyone else.
Everyone has the right to live in a safe environment without having to worry about the damages it could cause to their health and that of their children.
Every human being should be able to have access to safe food and water to get the nutrition they need, without having to degrade themselves in order to get their basic needs. (No one should be forced to beg or to do anything they wouldn't normally do because they have no where else to turn to.)
No one should feel as if though they cannot receive any help in fear that they might be discriminated against or judged based on their needs.
