Introduction
The intersection of racism, psychology, and human rights is a critical area of exploration that reveals the profound impact of racial discrimination on mental health and societal well-being. Psychological research indicates that experiences of racism can lead to a range of negative mental health outcomes, including stress, anxiety, and depression, as individuals grapple with the effects of systemic inequality and social marginalization. Human rights frameworks advocate for the elimination of racism and the promotion of equality, emphasizing that every individual deserves to live free from discrimination and violence. This intersection highlights the urgent need for societal change to address racist structures, promote psychological resilience among affected communities, and uphold human rights principles that foster dignity, respect, and inclusion for all individuals, regardless of their racial or ethnic background.
