jogokért

Jogokért is a Hungarian phrase meaning "for rights." In public discourse it functions as a slogan and, at times, as a name adopted by campaigns or organizations advocating civil liberties and equal treatment. The term is formed from the noun jog (right, entitlement) and the preposition for- expressed by ért, conveying the idea of advocacy or support for a cause.

Usage and scope

In Hungarian media and civil society, jogokért appears in protests, manifestos, and campaign titles to signal a rights-based stance. It is used across a range of issues, including civil and political rights, freedom of expression, privacy, labor rights, and minority or LGBTQ+ rights. Because it is a generic phrase rather than a single formal entity, many different groups, NGOs, or grassroots initiatives may employ it in their messaging, sometimes employing capitalized forms such as Jogokért to emphasize a campaign identity.

Context and reception

The slogan mirrors a broader European emphasis on human rights and democratic values, while remaining rooted in Hungary’s contemporary civic culture. As a recurring refrain in protests and public statements, jogokért highlights the demand for legal and social protections for individuals and communities.
