If you are neutral in situations of injustice,
you have chosen the side of the oppressor.
Picture this
Whenever there is an abuse from an authority
from an entrepreneur, or from any kind of person
there is always a victim the needs to be defended
And it is one’s right to defend oneself.
Some people get outraged and take positive actions to help others
some of them have certain disadvantages just for belonging to minority groups
We have the duty to defend them.
These are the Defenders of the Human Rights.
People that work hard everyday so that we are all treated equally
and for authorities to stop committing abuses, or allowing them to happen.
You have most likely defended someone in the past
and without knowing it, you became a Defender
We can all become Defenders
we’re not required to be part of an organization
or to have specific qualifications.
Absurd as it seems
there are some who wish to stop the Defenders from doing their jobs
because when a victim is under protection
the offenders will quite probably be taken to justice.
And in a country like this one
this is enough to produce retaliations
such as threats, attacks
Imprisonments, slanders
being forced to leave their homes or even losing their lives.
If the Defenders have to defend themselves
they will be unable to defend anybody else.
Declare yourself as a defender
of those who defend us.
Let’s demand that the government prevents all sorts of aggression against Defenders
and that they investigate exhaustively every attack committed.
Think about it this way
the more people there are supporting the Defenders
the lesser risks they will face
meaning we will be more protected against injustice.
Remember that violence, impunity, inequality, and discrimination
are everyday situations and you cannot think that it won’t happen to you.
Exercise your right to defend your rights
by sending this video to your contacts.
The more you resend it
the more likely it will be seen by civilians
militaries, police officers, politicians and judges
and once and for all they will regard Defenders
as people who work for society
and who fight so that we can all have the same rights.
We have to discuss human rights and those who defend them.
Talk about this at your school, with your family, with whomever you want
It is very important that you share this video
so that with just one click thousands of people will be informed about what it is happening.
Let's us not forget, send this video.
Declare yourself as a defender of those who defend us.
