Children, gay and lesbian, women, Asians, Latin, black people, elders, people with disabilities. ALL of them are the vulnerable groups of society, the ones who are often left behind because 'they cannot handle everyday's life'or 'they are diferent from us'. All these fallacies are making people treat them unfairly and these groups are moving away from all the opportunities that you and I have.
But the worst part, is that there are people who treat them truly badly. People who feels superior than them, and they think they are all right. But, how can we stop this?
First of all, we must promote tolerance. At home, at school, at church, at the streets. Everywhere. Teach our children that everyone is equal. That skin color, age, sex, preferences, nationalities, disabilities,and others are not a barrier. We ourselves create those barriers that do not allow us see and make us judge before.
Then, we can create a human right watch culture. What does this mean? Human rights means looking after others. If we know of someone who is being maltreated or someone who maltreats, we must report it. We can help many people.
And finally, change our mind. We live in a very diverse world. We are all different, but that does not mean we have different right. We all have the same right and must respect that.
