Our world is divided into those who are rich, who are powerful, who have everything, position, prestige, and those who have not. In the world, there is enormous inequality of capacity–the man who invents the jet plane and the man who drives the plough. There is vast contrast in capacity–intellectual, verbal, physical. We give enormous value and significance to certain functions, and so function assumes status and position.
Statistical studies are hardly needed to prove the existence of immense material inequality between human beings. Today, over 80% of the world’s population lives in the Third World where some 48% of people live on less than $US2 per day. 57% of the world’s people must share 1% of the world wealth while the richest 1% controls over 40%. The rich of the world continue to consume resources (such as oil and metals) and produce wastes (such as plastics and greenhouse gases) at a rate of 32 units per capita while the poor consume at a rate of 1 unit per capita.
Such inequalities did not happen by chance – they have been created and are maintained by a wholly unjust and unsustainable model of international ‘development’ (and ‘underdevelopment’).
Globalisation has transformed the world into a village without boundaries where problems and policies of one country influence others also. So long as we continue to be only an audience of the, it will give rise to such inequality that the difference between those that are incapable and those that are capable becomes unbridgeable.
We create a mass awareness on the rights and duties of individual, community, state and Globalised World. We believe and promote that everyone is equal regardless of caste, color, ethnicity, religion, region and gender. WE believe that every person is entitled to certain fundamental rights, simply by the fact of being human. We create this awareness through online and offline mode of communication. We encourage individual socially sensitive citizen to raise their voices against the injustice causing to people based on their caste, color, ethnicity, religion, region and gender. Our Ambassador highlights the human sufferings and stories of unequal world to the forefront through their articles, online videos, Post, Petitions, and Demand Charters etc. We make government and duty holders to listen and take care of the rights of right holders.
