The book, "Defenders of dignity: The fight for human rights in a broken world" is written by Sree Krishna Seelam. That covers the answers to our questions.
So, why is this fight necessary? The fight for human rights is intense and is one of a biggest failures in modern era. We believe that slavery and oppression are all in the past and you do not occur in society today, which is the biggest LIE.
The book shows as how these forms of inequality has taken place in new ways such as people being trapped in modern slavery and forced labour globally. Often where the powerful group is the oppressor and the victims are often the common people.
How can the system still be alive when we have law? The truth is this injustice has continue to spread and evolve because the powerful groups are often linked to the government which profit from these abuses.
Why is this a persisting issue? Because freedom of speech and privacy does not exist in the current economy. If you speak to truth it backfired and so it has now become a dangerous act. If you don't believe it, that's ok! Because the book we tell you real life stories that will make your heart burn and you fill mind with anger.
So read the book, it is not just complaining about the problems, it provides the reader with a practical guide as to how one can protect their own rights. It makes you able to defend yourself and others.
It's alright if you do not wish to read the book but, you can still help the cause by purchasing it! As it directly supports the Middlemen.asia initiative which provides legal aid to victims of human right abuses and for all you know one day you are curiosity will make you read it.
But hey! I urge you to read it and expose yourself to the global and justice happening right now to people like you and me.
