Listen "Protests work"
Episode Synopsis
Protests work because they disrupt the status quo and force those in power to confront uncomfortable truths. They are a direct challenge to injustice, showing that people will not be silenced or ignored. When people take to the streets, they send a clear message: change is not just desired, it's demanded. To kick off the fourth season of CIVICUS Voices, we will be sharing successful examples of how protests have been impacting society positively around the globe. Where protests have made a difference? From abortion rights in Latin America to Black Lives Matter in the US to the Tunisian Revolution, there are many success stories as a result of protest movements. Guests: Mariela Belski, Executive Director for Amnesty International Argentina and UN advisor in Argentina.Layla Saleh, Researcher Director at Demos-Tunisia Democratic Sustainability Forum. Recommendations: Strategies for a sustainable protest by CIVICUS
