How do you take action for a more equal community?

Too often human rights only exist on paper. That’s why we need to stand up and claim our rights.

The human rights defenders in the video do not wait and hope that change will take place by itself. Neither do they sit and hope that people in authority will change things someday. They take action for issues that they care about, they speak up against injustice and stand up for human rights. What are your reflections around this? Who has the responsibility to ensure that the change we want happens?
