Throughout history, individuals and groups of people who have been marginalized by society have courageously spoken out, organized, and often caused movements to spring up to correct injustices. It’s a phenomenon that has enabled humanity to advance and achieve higher aims and goals for all members of society—not just for a select number.
In the past year and a half, this has been exhibited in the movement against sexual harassment and assault. This movement has gained prominence in the United States and has taken root in other countries as well.
The desire for individual worth to be acknowledged, respected, and realized in practical ways in our daily lives is innate to every man, woman, and child. But no matter how noble the human efforts to achieve this goal, they inevitably fall short of being totally triumphant. There’s always more work to be done and more battles to be waged.
