The World Belongs to Every Human

The world belongs to every human person and all should have equal rights. Gender justice is a crucial issue that needs to be addressed. Women need to be seen as human persons just as men. I wholeheartedly support the Arab women’s claim for equal citizenship which is a human rights issue.

A Concerned Citizen for Equality

I don’t work for anyone; I am just a concerned citizen with a man from Morocco who shouldn’t have to deal with people looking down on him because of his nationality.

We all bleed RED and we are ALL one with GOD so please stop the violence and racisim, and LOVE who we are.

History is the Witness of Injustice

History is the witness of injustice done to man all over the world and for different reasons. It is unacceptable that today in our modern century some people have to suffer and live in misfortune because of their identity, an identity they didn’t pick. If people were liberated from discrimination in the past, with the determination and hard work something can and will be done today!!!

We Stand Together as Women and Sisters

No women should be treated less than her male counterparts. We stand together as women, as sisters so that all women can experience the Freedoms and equalities that we free women have.

The Greatest Solidarity of People Everywhere is that we are All Human

The greatest solidarity of people everywhere is that we are all human. It is when women too can live with human dignity that humanity will truly be free and just. Women’s rights are human rights.

Every Citizen has the Right to be Equal to the Other

Every citizen has the right to be equal to the other. Irrespective of who we are, where we come from and the class we belong to.

Nigeria is a practising partriachal system where men dominate women. We in our organisation are advocating earnestly through Action AID International Partnership to fight against disparity and injustice.

We join to say that women and children who are most vulnerable should be given opportunities of equality at all phases in life.
