Change.org ruft zum Themen-Voting für den jährlichen Blog Action Day am 15. Oktober 2010 auf. Am Blog Action Day dreht sich auf vielen Blogs dieser Welt alles um ein Thema. Das Ziel: Die weltweite Aufmerksamkeit auf ein bestimmtes Thema zu lenken und die globale Diskussion anzuregen. 2009 haben sich 13,606 Blogs aus 156 Ländern beteiligt.
Zur Auswahl stehen in diesem Jahr sechs Themen:
– Wasser (The UN recently declared water to be a human right, but millions around the world still lack even the most basic access, causing widespread disease and the possibility of military conflict over access to clean water.)
– Menschenhandel (From prostitution to forced labor, more than 27 million people are modern-day slaves, making human trafficking one of the most overlooked man-made tragedies in the world.)
– die Benachteiligung von Frauen (The most discriminated against group in the world isn’t a minority: it’s women. From inequality in schooling to reduced economic opportunities, women face a disproportionate degree of adversity all over the world.)
– Nahrung (Industrial agriculture has overtaken the world’s food supply – creating obesity in the developed world and spreading genetically modified crops and oftentimes undercutting local farmers in the developing world.)
– Hunger (While many of us may take healthy, nutritious food for granted, more than 1 billion people around the world see it as an unattainable luxury.)
– Meere (Overfishing and pollution have decimated untold species of fish and other ocean life over the past few decades, and recent oil spills have shown how vulnerable aquatic life is to man-made disasters.)
Change.org lädt aber auch dazu ein, ein eigenes Thema vorzuschlagen! Voten und mitbestimmen kann man hier!
