Anti-Discrimination Advocacy
4
How about religion discrimination?
Why do we condemn religions that are different from ours?
We all have the freedom to choose on what to believe and what not to believe
But why do we still intrude other people’s belief?
Why do we think our religion is far more superior than the others?
When in reality, the argument on which religion is true is subjective.
The human reason is incapable of finding sufficient rational grounds
To justify either the belief that God exists or the belief that God does not exist.
What happened to humanity?
All throughout our lives, we’ve been educated to treat others kindly.
Treat them as you wanted to be treated
Yet the thin line remains unbroken
We should realize the mental and emotional effects of discrimination.
Discrimination often results to anxiety and depression
Leading to self-hate and suicidal
We may be different in Color, Ethnicity, Age, Gender, Religious beliefs
But underneath it all
We are born with equal dignity
We both live in the same planet
We breathe the same air
My blood has the same color as yours
So why should we discriminate each other?
Stop the hate
Spread love and kindness
Let’s be world changers
No one deserves to feel like crap.

Hello my name is Zahid Merali and I’m standing in front of you today to talk to
you about a very important issues. This issue is poverty in the Philippines. Poverty is
a very big issue especially in the Philippines because it affects people just like you
and me, people who have dreams and goals but could never imagine of achieving
them. In the Philippines more than 30% of people fall below the poverty line and
about 12% is in extreme poverty meaning they use less than 2 to survive dollars a
day. I want everyone here to close their eyes for a moment and try to imagine what
I’m about to tell you. Imagine yourself living next to a garbage dump, waking up
every morning knowing that there is nothing you can do with your life but try to
survive, imagine not being able to eat breakfast and lunch but only eating one small
meal a day, Imagine your mom working in a factory with very dangerous machinery
and only bringing home a couple dollars after a full day of work. Imagine spending
you days looking through the garbage dump trying to find any recyclable material
that you can sell. Children just like you and me live like this every day. This work is
7
very dangerous because of the environment they are at risk of many diseases such
as pneumonia or tuberculosis. This is the life of many children and adults in the
Philippines.
The poverty level in the Philippine has only gotten worse since 2006 and there
are many reasons for this. One of the main reasons is the rapid growth of the
population. The Philippines has one of the fastest growing populations in the world
at 2.3% a year. There has been an increase in more than 4 million poor people since
the 1985. Since the growth of the population has quickly increased this has
become a major problem because there is already insufficient resources to support
the population and this also will leave less resources to improve their economy as
well as reduces job opportunities and causes more and more to fall below the
poverty line. Currently The unemployment is 7.4% .Since the Philippines is a bunch
of small islands they face difficulty in job creation due to not being able to attract
more foreign investments.
Over many years the government has been trying to reduce poverty by
focusing more on agricultural work in order and try and create more jobs, but this will
take many years and by the time these jobs are created more will die. Apart from the
government, there has also been help from many people and companies such as the
Asian development bank also known as ADB. ADB is an organization that tries to
help those in poverty in Asia and the pacific and spread knowledge to others. ADB
produced a book called Poverty in the Philippines: causes, constraints and
opportunities. This book explored the many ways someone could be trapped in
poverty. Many don’t know about this issue and I feel as if that is a big reason why
the Philippines are still facing poverty after such a long time. Poverty- the Philippine
scenario is a book written by Ruth S.Callanta that shows you the many different
aspects of the life of someone in poverty. Through these books and through you, we
can spread knowledge to those who don’t know about this issue.
So you may be thinking that you are only one person and that nothing you can
do will even make a difference? Well I’m here to tell you that you are wrong and that
you can help all those who are in need in many different ways. Philippines charity is
a non-profit organization that gives 100% of your donation straight to those in need.
You can find them at Philippinescharity.com. The reason why I chose to tell you
about this charity is because of the unique ways. It allows you to help others such as
donating money, sending e-cards, sending used clothing or even just by letting you
click their ads. With each click on their site you are donating money without even
knowing. With every donation you could be saving a life or giving someone a way
out.
There is enough in this world for everyone’s need, but not enough for
everyone’s greed, this was said by Mahatma Gandhi and I truly believe that this is
the truth. It is not the fault of those in poverty but ours because we have the chance
to help them and make the world a better place for everyone. With the rising
population it will be harder than ever to help those in need but it is not impossible. So
please go home talk to your family, talk to your friends get as many people as you
can involve and one day I promise you we will see a change.

Important Points
1. The importance of advocacy in a community is ensuring by all means that people particularly those who are
most vulnerable in society are able to have their voice heard on issues that are important to them. It also
facilitates change and development of new areas of policy in order to tackle the needs of a community.
2. Campaign is needed in an advocacy because campaigns raise awareness or helping a brand and relationship
with stakeholders. This can attract donations, garner enough signatures to back a petition and can trigger
behavioural changes and influence government policy.
Real Life Scenario
