Human Rights

Although human rights has come a long way since men dragged women by their hair, our world still has just as long a way to go in order to achieve global peace and harmony. The problem with human rights is that it pervades every level of our society. At the macro-level, wars blur the line between acceptable and unacceptable human rights practices. In 2004, Israel’s IDF detained a 13-year-old boy throwing stones at the soldiers and strapped his left arm onto the screen that guarded the Humvee’s windshield. In Iraq, suspected terrorists are detained for indeterminate amounts of time, with little evidence or rights provided to them. On the micro-level, racial tensions have turned communities against each other.

We at Attorney.org believe that regardless of whether you promote women’s rights, LGBT rights, minority rights, or anything else — it is one step in the pursuit of truly egalitarian human rights. As part of our new human rights campaign, Attorney.org is partnering with premier institutions striving for change in the hopes bringing greater awareness to their causes. Attorney.org’s role will be to promote the free flow of information and bring well deserved recognition to the people who fight to make this world a better place.
