Human Rights vs. Civil Rights

One may think that both human and civil rights are the same and fall under the same category. Well, at least this is what I was set out to believe. From my readings I have completely different views than before.  Civil rights protects a persons freedom and equality, whereas human rights protects one from judgement regardless of race, gender, religion etc. I believe we need a civil rights movement because when civilians fail in the category of  "human rights", we have other civilians that are willing to fight for what's right. So, I have come to the conclusion that we cannot have one without the other. We cannot have civil rights without human rights because what else will we be backing up and fighting for? In order to have a strong human rights movement there needs to be civilians out there that are willing to call someone out on going against someone's rights.
