The violation of human rights abnegates the exercise of a person or group's freedoms and opportunities. These violations can be perpetrated by any actor in society, as well as by the government itself. In Mexico, mainly in the northern states, discrimination is noticeably apparent, whether originated by social status or sexual preferences, generating a grievous violation of the right to equality. This article presents a brief overview of the evolution of human rights in the world, their definitions and characteristics, as well as their application and importance in Mexican legislation. In parallel, it analyzes the citizens of Monterrey's perception of human rights, using the case study completed by the Faculty of Political Science and International Relations of the Autonomous University of Nuevo León as a reference.

Palavras-chave : citizen perception; discrimination; government; human rights; society.
