Breaking the Chains of Injustice: A Global Call for Equality – the phrase in all its gravitas has been ringing loud and clear across nations as the world faces one of its most pressing problems, ingrained systemic and institutional injustices. This call for equality is not only being heard from marginalised communities, activists, and human rights defenders, but also from corporate leaders, politicians, celebrities, and social media influencers. The growing number of supporters demanding significant societal changes is a reminder that the struggle for equality and justice is not a new phenomenon, but a fight that has continued for centuries with varying degrees of intensity.
It is no secret that the pandemic has exposed to the world the deep-rooted societal inequities that dictate who faces hardships and who gets the privilege of privilege. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated to the world that while the virus may not discriminate, our societal structures certainly do. People of colour, women, the LGBTQ+ community, and economically disenfranchised groups have borne the brunt of the pandemic’s impact. This has resulted in a global surge of protests and demonstrations, demanding a systemic change to address the inequalities that permeate our society.
It is vital to recognise that these inequalities do not exist in isolation. They are the product of a historical legacy of racism, sexism, homophobia, and classism, and are perpetuated by the lack of effective policies that promote equity. This inequality not only harms individuals, but it is also detrimental to the economic, political, and social growth of a nation as a whole.
The global call for equality must involve all sectors of society; the government, private sectors, civil society organisations, academia, and the media. This demand for change must extend beyond mere passive acknowledgment of the problem but instead must include radical policy changes and the necessary allocation of resources to drive transformative change.
The media, especially, have a crucial role to play in this movement. Journalists have the essential responsibility to report accurately on these issues, raise awareness, and keep the conversation going. They must also hold decision-makers accountable, asking the tough questions that require critical action to dismantle systemic injustices.
In conclusion, this call for equality is not only a matter of human decency but a matter of upholding civil rights. Breaking the chains of injustice requires a collective and conscious effort, and it cannot be achieved if we continue to operate in our respective silos. Only by working together can we create a world that guarantees equitable opportunities for all.
