The government or governments mainly provide social security for all citizens. The provision of social security helps to make sure that citizens can create their own economic security. Every person has the right to social security. This right ensures that all individuals have access to government benefits. These benefits could be either in kind or in cash and are to be made accessible to all people regardless of their social status. In the provision of this right, there has to be no discrimination.

Accessibility of government’s resources needs to be made simpler especially for the disadvantaged. Instances of discrimination often lead to the emergence of these disadvantaged groups. Governments, therefore, work to ensure that there is equality and every person has access to government resources.
