Inflation and Human Rights

The soaring inflation rate in Pakistan, currently at 27.3%, has plunged millions into poverty and exacerbated issues related to hunger and malnutrition. This economic crisis threatens the basic human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, particularly the right to an adequate standard of living, healthcare, and education. Vulnerable populations, including women, children, and the elderly, bear the brunt of these economic hardships, further deepening social inequalities. Immediate policy interventions are required to mitigate the impact of inflation and protect the most affected communities.
