Spaces of Human Rights: How Social Justice is Achieved Through Social Media

Описание: Over the past decade, social media has provided a dynamic space for activists to spread their messages and reach a wider audience on a global stage. Digital platforms like Twitter hold immense power in building large social movements such as #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter, recruiting supporters and encouraging meaningful, enduring change in a society that has long been defined by its threatening inequality.

This first episode in our new series, Spaces of Human Rights, looks at Twitter and the wider implications social media has for championing human rights. Read more about the topic on our website here:

EachOther is a UK-focused charity that uses independent journalism, story-telling and film-making to put the human into human rights. The digital content we produce is grounded in the lived experience of ordinary people affected by human rights issues. We involve them in the process of developing their stories, rather than talking for or over them. Theirs are the voices we platform and amplify to our lay audience of over a million viewers each year. In this way, we hope to grow public support for human rights here in the UK.
