Introductions

Hello all! I'm Raney, and I am a high school junior from East Tennessee! Recently, I became very interested in international studies (particularly human rights), and I have become somewhat of a junkie. I've stocked up on global studies books, started a Human Rights Awareness Bulletin at my school, and I thought that starting a human rights blog could be a fantastic way to become more informed as to what's going on in the world today.

My blog is open to EVERYONE and will basically include questions regarding human rights ambiguities, links to relevant articles, my perspective on current human rights violations/victories, and my experiences within my school and community regarding advocacy.

So, if you wish, delve into the exploration of human rights across the globe with me and feel free to share your opinions/suggestions! I won't lie: much of what I say won't be pretty. Human rights issues are often tragic and infuriating. However, by becoming aware, we CAN stop these horrific violations. So buckle up and get ready to stand up and speak out for voiceless citizens of the world!
