Our personal thoughts & viewpoints
In an era where defending and endorsing human rights is seen as more controversial than committing its’ violations, we need a complete change of perspective and need to reevaluate our stances on these issues. Why are we so reluctant to wake up to these issues and confront them instead of conforming to this culture of indifference and hostility?
Ahmad
It is the 21st century and yet there is a good chunk of our species, the one gifted with knowledge and has the capacity to think in a progressive manner that still is in denial to accept change like most of us have by setting our differences aside and understanding that this is more than just our trivial sentiments.

IT’S 2020.
WE SHOULD BE ADVOCATING FOR HONEY BEES BY NOW, NOT BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS.
Its strange how we live in a time where the advocacy for human rights is seen as more controversial and criminal than its violation.
