    (Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024)

    Assertiveness is a human right essential for belonging and cultivating a culture of peace, equity, justice, and respect. Its importance lies in fostering culturally appropriate interactions and in the ability to express clearly, confidently, and respectfully personal needs, opinions, desires, and emotions while considering and respecting the rights and perspectives of others. It is a valuable tool since it contributes to improving, among other aspects, interpersonal relationships, quality of care, work efficiency and productivity, teamwork, psychosocial well-being, and health outcomes. This chapter qualitatively analyses assertiveness as a human right and as the fundamental factor for intercultural competencies, which, in turn, help establish diverse and inclusive societies. As a result, peace, justice, and equity are settled amongst communities, and a culture of belonging, enrichment, and thriving is cultivated. It examines how education paves the way for communicating, behaving assertively, and exercising the human right to be assertive. Thus, education provides the foundation for learning to live together through assertiveness. Finally, this chapter synthesises and analyses the book to give a general overview of its content. This book will pave the way for future research on assertive rights. It will encourage studies of assertiveness as a human right and as a way of promoting a culture of respect, justice, and peace within diverse, inclusive, and culturally competent societies. ©The authors ©Springer.
