Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor, it must be demanded by the oppressed.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Today, our world is endangered because of the grave injustice unleashed upon it by fellow human beings who find themselves in the position of power.
Unlawful detention, extra judicial killings, human trafficking, organ trafficking, child labour, slavery, gender discrimination, gender violence, police brutality, social media clampdown, press victimization, racism, etc are some of the injustices confronting our world today. Do we fold our hands and do nothing about it? Absolutely no!
We believe that Steemit is not an ordinary social network, it can be used as a tool of social change; to speak against injustice, to create awareness about injustice and to give relief to the oppressed in the society.
In this maiden edition of the TOGETHER AGAINST INJUSTICE CONTEST, tell us in not more than 50 words what you think is the greatest injustice confronting the world today and why you think so.
