This chapter considers how human rights, and leisure rights in particular, affect social groups, defined by, respectively, class, age (children), gender, disability and race/ethnicity. The chapter opens with a discussion of discrimination, since non-discrimination is a fundamental human rights principle which can potentially affect all social groups. It is noted that class has been relatively neglected by leisure rights researchers, but poverty is a major concern in UN human rights-related programmes, and class-based theory in Marxist, neo-Marxist and critical forms has been, in the past, a key feature of leisure theory and research. The four social group-related discussions all begin with a summary of the UN human rights treaties/conventions which particularly affect them. In each case, this is followed by an examination of related leisure research.
