Others find solace in finding solutions to quench humanity’s thirst.The first remain consumers.
The latter has all the markings of a successful social entrepreneur, Scott Harrison’s tribe.It wasn’t always like that for Scott.
From 18 to 28 years, this is precisely what he did.
And he did that for close to 40 establishments which lined his pockets with commissions and perks, sometimes by as much as USD 3000 to 5000 on a single night!As a promoter of nightclubs and high life where he would host parties for names that included MTV, VH1, Bacardi, and Elle, Scott was paid to keep people partying by making available everything that made people party through the night.
Holed up with a friend from his partying days, he started to apply to humanitarian organizations for a position.None reverted, and not surprisingly given the limited use they would have of a party manager.
Mercy Ships, a non-profit NGO of floating hospitals bringing medical aid to the needy worldwide happened because Scott agreed to pay them USD 500.00 every month for taking him on board.Stationed off the coast of Liberia, Scott had the opportunity to take pictures (close to fifty thousand of them!)
The disproportionate level of violence faced by women and sexual minorities is not a recent phenomenon.
Gender-Based Violence (GBV) has increased exponentially in the past-decade despite significant measures being undertaken for redressal at international and national levels.
GBV is not only symptomatic of a deeply unequal patriarchal social order, but it also highlights the inability to accord basic security and safety to individuals as expressed by the global discourse on Human Rights.
Gender-Based violence (GBV) is a serious violation of human rights and a life-threatening health and protection issue.” The repercussions of such forms of violence which include intimate partner violence, sexual violence, child marriage, female genital mutilations and honour crimes – are severe and long-lasting.
The impact of GVB is unequally felt by women and girls, however people not adhering to heteronormative codes of sexual behaviour and those who identify as other genders are increasingly affected by GVB as well.Human Rights and Gender-Based Violence:The International Human Rights regimes rests on the assumption that human beings enjoy certain rights simply on the condition of them being human.
These rights codified in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights signed in 1948, are considered to be universal, unalienable, indivisible, equal and non-discriminatory.
