ANIMAL RIGHTS : "MEAT EATERS IN, VEGAN OUT"
We have a choice, but they don't. We have a voice, but they don't. Where have humanity gone wrong? Everyone is entitled to their basic rights and this goes for animals too. It is undeniable that humans are self-centered and therefore animal sacrifice themselves for our food, our entertainment, our source of energy and our everything. They are living, breathing, hurting members of our global family. It's easy to feel sorry and hope someone saves them, but why can't you be the one that steps up and make a difference? You may think that one person can't make much difference, but that is a terrible misconception. Stop feeling sorry for these animals and take a stand for what's right. The Animal Rights team will guide you through the behind of animal testing, domestic abuse of animals, animals abused for entertainment and more specifically the treatment of animals behind factory farming. Get to know the truth and how to protect their rights at the workshop!

Child's Right
Kids have always been taken advantage of because their size and limitation to voice out. Not to mention their obedience and their fate to refuse. The angle of our workshop is towards children trafficking and child labour because we believe that this major issue is something we wish to voice about. We will also be talking child rights in general and how we all can play a part in eradicating this nightmare before more bright future will be perished.
Education For All
We are lucky to live in Malaysia where basic education is provided to all. But do you know that there are still children and even adults who do not have the opportunity to access quality and basic education? There are people who do not even have the chance to go to school. Maybe you will say, well, there has been a lot of movement launched by national government and NGOs. However, is it available everywhere, every corner in the countries like Uganda, Malawi and Nepal? We doubt that. Education is a gift for children for a brighter future and YOU can make a DIFFERENCE!

“There are two kinds of moral law, two kinds of conscience, one in men and a quite different one in women. They do not understand each other; but in matters practical living a woman is judged by the men’s law, as if she were not a woman but a man.
A woman cannot be herself in present day society, which is an exclusively male society with laws written by men, and prosecutor and judges who judge female behaviour from the male point of view” .
