A Second Trump Term Imperils Rights

A Second Trump Term Imperils Rights

Donald Trump’s second term as?United States?president poses a grave threat to human rights in the US and around the world.

Throughout the campaign leading up to Tuesday’s election, Trump made no secret of his intent to violate the human rights of millions of people in the US. The evidence of the danger he poses is clear:?

Meanwhile, Trump has?signaled opposition?to funding for humanitarian aid and civilian protection efforts in major conflicts and crises around the world. Instead, he could increase partnerships with rights-abusing governments while also undermining efforts to protect the human rights of people living under these governments.

It’s time to hold the line. World leaders, local officials, activists, and ordinary citizens all have a role to play in protecting human rights, keeping Trump from carrying out the abuses he has promised, and holding his administration accountable for abuses.

SOS Children's Villages Organisation is an NGO founded by professor Hermann Gmeiner in Austria. Sos commits direct and indirect abuses from the children it brings to its home worldwide. I'm from the sos village. I suggest SOS Children to be brought to justice or close its doors globally. This giant orphanage is benefiting from the social services yet its promises are not. SOS committed, for example Panama Scandal, whereas it has promised to compensate the victims it has wronged. Yet, they have not compensated the orphans affected by SOS's misbehavior, i request the HRW to respond such inhumane against the children of the world. SOS bought its own lawyers, produced it own system of law to monitor child growth and management, an advocate system that is not free and fair. On behalf of the former children and alumni generation, we suggest that SOS-Children's Villages facilities worldwide closed until the justice prevails and their lawyers questioned and challenged.
