For people to come together and drive social change for the collective
good, they need safe spaces, free from all acts of intimidation,
harassment and reprisals, whether online or offline.

Last month, we asked you to tell us if you feel you can safely campaign on
the issues you care about where you live.

Globally, 54% of people who responded said they feel safe, while 25% said
they don't and 20% said they aren't sure. The country where supporters
said they felt the least safe was the United States, with 32% of Americans
reporting that they don't feel safe campaigning.  

While the percentage of supporters who don't feel safe campaigning in the
UK were the second highest, the reasons they gave were very different.

Those who reported not feeling safe in countries outside the US, stated
concerns over their safety and freedoms being restricted by their
governments.  

"Changes to recent laws about democratic protests mean I’m afraid to stand
up for my rights," said one UK supporter.

A Nigerian supporter responded, "Across Africa, governments are still
shutting down internet access and placing bans on social media platforms
that activists campaign about key socio-political issues. Part of our
government's responsibility is to create safe spaces for citizens to speak
up, be heard and contribute decisions on the issues they care about." 

However, in the US, supporters are most concerned for their safety from
other citizens, not their government.

One US supporter said, "I live in a very conservative state where people
are often attacked, both verbally and physically, for expressing an
opinion that is divergent from the mainstream values...".   

Wherever we live, our right to speak out against injustice is fundamental
to living in a free and peaceful society. In this series, [ [link removed] ]Protecting
Protest: We Need All Hands on Deck, writers examine how citizens' right to
protest is being threatened and why we must fight to protect it.

adding your name to their open letter- [ [link removed] ]with 1 click! Here's an extract:

We need ambitious ideas that match the scale of the crisis we are facing.
We need actions that will move us to a new place: 

Let’s support impacted populations by creating jobs, so people can provide
for their families. Let’s remove the blockages stopping progress. Let’s
reduce debts that have a high economic burden on citizens. Let’s fix the
economy and encourage growth.

We need governments and financial leaders to use every tool they have to
free the funds that will help people and countries impacted the most.
These funds are available, so we can’t afford to wait any longer.

People Changing the World

[1]Doreen Moraa

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? 

My name is Doreen Moraa. I’m 30 years old and I live in Nairobi, Kenya. I
have been a ONE Champion for a few months. I joined because I’m a
passionate HIV/AIDS advocate and I believe in ONE's mission to end
preventable diseases, like HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria, by 2030. 

Can you tell us about the work you do? 

HIV-related stigma is a barrier to people accessing treatment. As someone
who lives with HIV, I champion normalizing the HIV conversation and
increasing access to prevention, care, and treatment. 

My digital initiative, [ [link removed] ]“I Am A Beautiful Story,” brings together the
voices of other people living with HIV and highlights our amazing lives
beyond our diagnosis.

I feel so proud that from an idea I had to create HIV-related content on
social media, I've contributed to the growth of digital health-related
advocacy and have been able to work with global organisations like the
International AIDS Society's Youth Hub. 

Why is ending extreme poverty and preventable disease important to you? 

When people live in extreme poverty, they're more vulnerable to
preventable diseases. Most people struggle to afford healthcare services,
which in turn increases levels of extreme poverty because the diseases
will also affect the breadwinners of the family. 

To end extreme poverty and preventable disease, every family needs to have
a reliable, stable income to afford proper healthcare and education
services.

How do you stay motivated? And how do you like to spend your time outside
of work?

I consistently use social media, so it’s very hard to stay motivated
sometimes. But I take breaks to recharge. The messages I get from people
saying that I've lifted their spirits and helped make their lives living
with HIV easier keep me going.

Outside of work, I enjoy sampling new restaurants, travelling to new
destinations, and I've recently enjoyed a storytelling podcast called “No
Name Podcast Ke” that makes me laugh a lot.
