Abstract Green and El Saadawi discuss justice and human rights under the umbrella of humanism. They attempt to explore the issues relating to justice and human rights and its violation in their plays. Both of them have a specific rights agenda . Green serves the question of justice and human rights for the marginalized people, especially women. She presents ”women’s rights” and ”black’s rights” as ”human” rights. In her plays , she discusses the contextual issues such as murder, HIV and AIDS crisis, incest, racial discrimination, discrimination against the women, torture, poverty, genocide, domestic and sexual abuse and the rights of the child, especially child soldiers and public stoning in Africa. El Saadawi supports the idea of ’justice’ and defends the cause of ’human rights’, with an emphasis on the ”human rights” of the marginalized people such the women and the poor in the Arab world, and more specifically in the Egyptian society. Many of her writings focus on the controversial issues such as prostitution, domestic violence and religious fundamentalism, unemployment; the right to education; the right to work, the right to social security and health protection, and freedom of speech, thought, expression. Green and El Saadawi reveal their messages to be humanists and they share the enthusiasm to defend human rights and support their legitimate claim to civil and political rights, socio- economic rights and cultural rights.
