Dignidad Humana: ¡Violaciones y respuesta!

No es necesario profundizar en las estadísticas sociales para conocer el alcance de las violaciones de la dignidad de las personas en todas las partes del mundo.

Nos basta con conocer el número de detenciones que se producen entre los que se levantan y expresan sus opiniones, así como entre los que exigen sus derechos o los de los demás.

Basta con que exploremos, a través de los medios de comunicación, las zonas de miseria de los países ricos y pobres, además de los cinturones de miseria que siguen caracterizando a las sociedades del mundo moderno.

Desde las costas de Raouche en Beirut

Organizaciones juveniles en cooperación con el MECC:
«Así es como empezamos el cambio hacia un medio ambiente mejor»

Desde el corazón herido de Beirut, y desde las orillas de Raouche, querían el cambio e insistían, aunque fuera con pequeñas iniciativas, en restaurar el bello rostro del Líbano. El corazón palpitante de la sociedad, hombres y mujeres jóvenes dispuestos, a pesar de las dificultades económicas y sociales, a trabajar por un país mejor. El tipo de cambio esta vez es diferente y se olvida en un país como el Líbano, al igual que en la mayor parte del Medio Oriente, donde las crisis cada vez más profundas hacen que sus habitantes se olviden de la necesidad de cuidar su «casa común», pero en un ambiente dolorido, ¿alguien escucha?

From Raouche Shores in Beirut

Youth Organizations in Cooperation with the MECC:

‘This is how we start the change towards a better environment’

From the wounded heart of Beirut, and from the shores of Raouche, they wanted change and insisted, even with small initiatives, to restore the beautiful face of Lebanon. The beating heart of society, young men and women keen, despite economic and social hardships, to work towards a better country. The type of change this time is different and forgotten in a country like Lebanon, just like in most of the Middle East, where deepening crises are raging and causing its residents to forget the need to care for their “common home,” but in a pained environment, is anyone listening?

Human Dignity: Violations and Response!

We do not need to delve deeply into social statistics in order to ascertain the extent of violations of people's dignity in all parts of the world.

It is enough for us to be aware of the number of arrests taking place among those who stand up and voice out their opinions as well as among those who demand their rights or the rights of others.

It is enough for us to explore, through the media, the destitute areas in rich and poor countries alike, in addition to the belts of misery that continue to characterize the societies of the modern world.
