DETAILS:
Do you stand for progress and sustainable development? Do you think that a human being is the supreme value of the society? Do you believe in equality, human dignity, diversity, and multiculturalism? Do you think that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights can become a reality for everyone, being the most important document adopted throughout past 100 years?
We answered YES!
Join us on 11 June 2011 at the March “For Human Rights and Non-discrimination”. Come and tell what you think about the difficult situation around human rights in Moldova. Come and ask: why the justice reform has been going through the motions? Why torture remains something ‘normal’ at police stations? Why none of the 7 April 2009 cases has been solved, whereas those events demonstrated gross massive-scale violations of human rights in Moldova? Why discrimination remains a widespread phenomenon, which the state authorities tacitly encourage? Why some are ‘righter’ than others? Why two intersecting straight lines are more important than two curves? Why the majority decides for minorities?
For greater impact we need each civil society representative who shares the values of equality, human dignity, and diversity to get involved. We will show that there is a critical mass of people in Moldova, for whom the aforementioned are the supreme values. Otherwise, the state will keep treating us a bunch of grant consumers with no influence over the public opinion, who should be better ignored.
Come with us this Saturday; invite your colleagues and friends: show that there are many of us, that we do care what is going on in Moldova, and that we want answers to our questions. Those in the governing bodies should be hold responsible for any action, whether that leads to human rights abuses or not.
