Num mundo em que cada vez mais os direitos humanos são desrespeitados e onde governos autoritários lançam mão da censura para calar vozes de jornalistas e blogueiros, faz-se necessário a união de pessoas que têm o interesse de lutar pela defesa dos direitos humanos. Nós, blogueiros, temos temos uma missão sublime: usar essa nova e pdoerosa mídia para denunciar os desmandos e os casos de violência que ocorrem mundo a fora. Não podemos nos calar. Devemos, ao contrário, nos unirmos para que, juntos, possamos ter força suficiente para mudar determinadas situação ou obrigar os governos autoritários a retroagirem na sua ânsia de dominação.

I wholeheartedly support, encourage, and condone this issue in all respects. It’s wonderful to see people motivating for a cause, whatever form the motivation takes.

However, I have issue with the political subtext of some of the badges. The raised fist and red color schemes speak to a socialist iconography. Although support for the cause of human rights is welcome from all parts of the political spectrum, politicizing the imagery is something I feel should be avoided. Not everyone who supports human rights is a socialist, and as such I feel that there should be greater emphasis on more inclusive images.

Think of it this way: how would people react to badges draped in red, white, and blue stars and stripes?

Just be aware of what you’re saying, even when you’re not using words.

When I first saw the badge in my friend’s blog, I directly pressed the link and wanted to grab the badge. Because from the beginning, I am a humanitarian worker. I work on humanitarian protection where the rights of people before, during, and post disaster are protected under the international instruments and laws. I work to empower the most vulnerable people through advocacy and campaigns. And putting the badge in my blog is the best way to spread the word. I am with all the bloggers who wanted to fight against violations of human rights.

Rights are innate at birth so let’s claim it!

This is a great opportunity.

I, along with a group of conscious bloggers organized around Amnesty International Global Day for Darfur on April 13th and expanded the effort to be a monthly campaign with a mission to educate, motivate and activate for our Darfurian and Tibetan families.

Next month, I will be participating on the 15th and hopefully gaining participants for the 27th movement Am I not Human?.

Our campaign headquarters is Roots of Humanity for more information.

In light and love

Together we can change the world.

Mankind has the ability to correct all wrongs, right all injustices, and enjoy peace for every human. Unfortunately mankind is unmotivated to do so. As individuals, we can do all these things within our own universes. By associating with enough like minded people, maybe we can give mankind the motivation it needs. Humanity is the one irrefutable baseline that we all share, maybe we can unite as a species. This is a good start.

I just joined Blog Catalog yesterday, and already I am very pleased with this site. I joined Bloggers For Human Rights just this morning, and now seeing all these wonderful badges that people have created definitely is quite exciting! It is a great idea to do a post about this on my blog, and I will get right to this as soon as I get my new Badge. I believe that we all should stand up for Human Rights, in whatever it is we might be interested in; there are too many of those that just sit and do nothing over all the injustices that may happen in whatever Country we may live in. I am a person who will stand up, and also sometimes put myself in jeopardy for an individual, and have done so in the past. I write poetry, editorials, and journals for different causes, when something strikes me as being wrong. I may write about “child abuse”, considering I come from an extremely abusive background. Children also have rights!

In the West, hard drug users are denied access to medical treatment and disease prevention programmes - thus we see escalating rates of HIV and HepC. These are human rights issue.

I’m sure this campaign will be a huge success.

I have a question though.

In the Declaration of human rights states:

Article 26
Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.
Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.
Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.

Many children with autism and autism spectrum disorder all over the world are not granted education which fits their needs.

I hope it’s allowed to blog about this, because it’s a matter close to my heart.

Now I’m going to add the badge to my blog.

I was on my routine blog-hopping when I saw that badge. Just as Ceci Casariego said, it’s about the attitude. So I’m putting it on my blog. Not that I am a very pro-active person when it comes to “human rights abuse”. But this much help is what I can do for now.

I’ll write something on May 15, that’s for sure.

May 15th of this year is the 60th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba –which marked the beginning of the modern age Palestinian plight and suffering. This date is remembered annually on local, regional, and global levels.

I am certain that many in the blogosphere will dedicate some posts to commemorate this tragic event along with other human rights abuses around the globe.

I look forward to joining you all as we unite for human rights and hopefully, with everyone’s support, this will be such a spectacular event that it will catch the eye of the mainstream media (especially that of the Palestinian situation that is inadequately and incorrectly represented in most of the western media outlets).

Please keep Palestine in mind as well as the People of Gaza who are under siege. Please visit
