There have been various human rights movements, right down through the history of mankind. They have not always been called 'human rights' movements, but records of the human race and cultures and societies show that there has always been the dominant and the oppressed, the dominant failing to acknowledge the respect and dignity and rights of fellow man.

The oppressed have either accepted their fate, or risen up in revolt in some way or other. In addition there have been activists who, whilst not themselves oppressed, have seen the injustice and come to the aid of those denied their human rights.

So human rights started with the arrival of humans. That seems to go back a very long time!
