"人权不仅因恐怖主义压迫或暗杀而遭到侵犯，也因造成巨大不平等的非公平经济结构而受到侵犯。"
— Pope John Paul II

Simplified Meaning:
Human rights aren’t just hurt by big, obvious actions like terrorism or violence by governments. They are also harmed by economic systems that are unfair and create big gaps between the rich and the poor. For example, if some people can’t afford basic needs like food, water, and shelter while others have more than they need, that’s a violation of human rights. This happens because the system allows some people to get very rich while others stay very poor. To make things better, societies can work on creating fairer economic policies so everyone has enough to live a decent life. So, protecting human rights also means making sure the economy is fair for everyone.
