Saying we are going to change things to make humans everywhere equal is all well and good, but unless we actually get off our bums and actually do something, saying it means nothing.
But how. How are we, as individuals meant to make a change in this world which contains and estimated 6,782,536,522 people? How is one person meant to make the world equal?
My main tip here is, stop discriminating. I know this sounds silly, but it really is the best way to start. It's one of the best ways individuals can make the world a more equal place. Because if you stop discriminating, whats to say other people cannot do it aswell?
Part of the problem is people don't know how unfair the world is to many.
I have found a very interesting site about human rights. This site is called Australian Human Rights Commission. May sound a little boring, but this site is actually very interesting. They are telling what they intend to do to make Australia more equal. At the website they explain all the different types of discrimination and what a different basic human rights. They go into:
- Racial, Age, Sex Discrimination
- Disibility Rights
- Human Rights
- and other things such as these.
I strongly recomend a good look. It really opens up eyes to the different kinds of discriminations which the world has. I hadn't even thought of age discrimination.
They have also made a youtube page. Here is a video of a women who suffered sexual harrasment in the workplace:
Although things like these are all minor changes, we I believe we can make a difference. Candy Whittome, from the Britsh Institute of Human Rights believes we can make a difference also. Visit the link below to see what she has to say about it:

But what do you think? Do you think small changes, such as this, mean that we can make a difference? What else can we do?
Let me know.
