The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.
- Albert Einstein.
This Week's Contest
Write a statement (not more than 200 words) demanding for better living conditions for the victims of Boko Haram in IDP camps across Northern Nigeria.

Call on the Nigerian government and the UN to rise to the challenge of leadership.
This video gives a glimpse into what life looks like in the IDP camps.
Why Fight Against Injustice?
Today, our world is endangered because of the grave injustice unleashed upon it by fellow human beings who have found themselves in the position of power.
Unlawful detention, extra judicial killings, human trafficking, organ trafficking, child labour, slavery, gender discrimination, gender violence, police brutality, social media clampdown, press victimization, racism, etc are some of the injustices confronting our world today. Do we fold our hands and do nothing about it? Absolutely no!
I believe that Steemit is not an ordinary social network site, it can be used as a tool of social change; to speak against injustice, to create awareness about injustice and to give a voice to the oppressed in the society.
