The 7 human rights issues that will shape the next generation
The clash of worldwide social justice movements and the backlash against them presents an enormous opportunity for progress on some of the most pressing human rights issues of our time. Battling myriad forms of bigotry — racism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia and religious intolerance — go hand in hand with securing access to healthcare, safe housing, bodily autonomy, privacy and other basic civil rights.
This battle will continue for the next generation — and these are the issues that will define their lives and livelihoods for years to come.
Refugee crises
Anti-LGBTQ discrimination
Violence against women
Water crisis in Flint (and elsewhere)
Surveillance and cybersecurity
Police brutality
This one might literally be the human rights crisis to end all human rights crises.
