Human rights violations against people with mental illnesses occur on a global scale, both inside and outside of psychiatric hospitals. Denial of work, marriage, procreation, and education; hunger; physical abuse; and neglect are examples of these violations. Although there are continuing debates around the world about how to treat people who have been diagnosed with mental illness or who are exhibiting mental health symptoms, it is crucial to recognize that the level of abuse differs from culture to culture based on established beliefs. For example, much as some cultures do not give women equal rights and push them to the background, other societies view the mentally ill as not being a part of normal society, and as a result, persons with mental illness are subjected to various sorts of mistreatment (Mfoafo-M’Carthy & Huls, 2014) .

Another factor that contributes to the violation of the mentally ill’s human rights is the lack of government participation. Thousands of mentally ill patients visit hospital emergency departments on a regular basis. They put pressure on our medical system, frighten the public, and occasionally cause injury to themselves and others. Previously, such persons were institutionalized in mental institutions. The public was protected, but the asylums were dreadful, overcrowded places where sick individuals were rarely treated well. As a result, it was decided to establish community mental health initiatives. However, community treatment was never actually implemented. It was not funded by politicians. The residents of neighborhood mental health centers were not fond of them. As a result, the mentally ill now end up in prisons or on the streets.

The human rights violation I selected is that on Abortion Rights, everyone has a right to health care. Everyone should have the freedom to make personal decisions, especially when it comes to reproductive health care without having to worry about politicians making that decision for them. Abortion rights have been guaranteed since 1973 when Roe vs. Wade decision came about. However now it is threatened by high court that can put many young women and women at risk. In 2021 the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2021 was passed by the house of representatives however has since then been stuck in the senate where there are several politicians challenging the proposition. Abortion services are essential health care, and many women deserve the right to make these choices, the United States has blocked in various way for women to have access to this type of health care. Allowing abortions is extremely essential because it is the safest way for people to seek a medical practitioner to have this procedure done. In not allowing these medical procedures to be legal people will seek other methods to achieve the medical treatments they look for endangering women and possibly costing them their lives.

The U.S. supreme court has allowed an abortion ban, Texas Senate Bill 8 (S.B.8) to stand this bill bans abortions at around 6 weeks of pregnancy this is before many women even know they are pregnant, and it also has a clause that can also get other people in trouble with the law if you are known to help someone get an abortion. This bill came into effect on September 1, 2021, the courts failure to stop this bill has put many women and young women at risk to either perform abortions on their own or care through with unwanted pregnancies. Lizelle Herrera a 26-year-old woman who was arrested just recently in Texas for performing a self – induced abortion and was held on $500,000 bond in Starr County although her charges were dropped this is one example of what people will do to seek their own medical treatment if not allowed to have. We cannot allow the right to health care to be denied from people because of personal belief that one believes this should not happen. Texas is not the only state who has banned abortions and who has denied this medical right to women.
