Stand up for human rights

Pretty heavy tip today.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone is born free with equal rights. I can imagine we all agree with this and that we all find it appalling how these basic rights are still so often violated.

Amnesty International organises on Friday 29 January 2021 the Write-for-rights day.  A beautiful initiative to make school children aware of the ‘free and equal’ principle by writing letters to and for men and women who have been wronged.

Past years have shown that this kind of actions can  make a difference and once again it shows the power of a letter (see also some of previous blog posts)

The tip today is not for all of us to take to the streets now to protest or to spend hours in your pen. But it is a warm call to not close our eyes to the small (or big) injustices that are happening around us.

Today’s tip
Don’t let injustices around you ‘just happen’ and give support (even if it’s only an encouraging message) to someone who has been wronged.
