The image that stirred me the most was the video of the woman living in the jungle who was trying to stop her babies from crying at night so that they would not be taken away from her.

I believe we see images all the time and how it affects a person probably depends on a person's perspective.

for me it was the viewing of the heartbreaking images of the Tibetan Photo Project as well as those of the Darfur Photo Project. It moved me to tears looking upon their faces seeing their pain reflected in their eyes and knowing of the unspeakable injustices that they have suffered and continue to endure..

That's a pity, but I must admit that we live in the times when human rights abuses are everywhere. Some people think it's impossible to survive without humiliating another person. I had an opportunity to download a video where the tragic events in the South Osetia are vividly depicted. I couldn't quit crying. Watch it and many unknown truths will open to you!

it was July 12, 2006 when Israel attacked S. Lebanon. I watched TV in horror as Israel went in and began the most murderous campaign I have ever been made aware of. I thought to myself wow, president Bush is going to come on TV and show our outrage...and instead the US sent Israel state of the art weapons to make sure the people were pulverized, burned, gassed etc. I listened to the lies that I have heard a thousand times, which is when I realized they were lies. You can't just repeat the same old stuff and expect it will work every single time. It didn't work this time with me. It was a rude awakening. Now I pay attention to everything. I can smell a rat a mile away just because I am aware. It keeps going and the world is helpless against the thugs in power, that's the bottom line and that has to change.

The image that first made me really think about human rights violations was back during the operation Desert Storm when the actions of the Saddam Hussein regime were made public. The way that he ruthlessly murdered people really opened my eyes to what was happening in many places around the world.

Just recently two human rights officials were killed by the police after a report by the UN investigator about extra police killing of the youths.They were killed a day after the government sporsman said that they will deal with them.I cant believe how humans life have nowadays become easy to day like flies.

It was definitely Schindler's List for me. That movie is so powerful.

The image that made me decide human rights is what I wanted to focus my life's work on was watching a documentary about the genocide in Rwanda. When the narrator says the conflict poured into neighbouring countries the camera pans a river, at first you think they are taking a moment to be artistic, then suddenly you start to see body after body and you realize the river if full of people who were killed. It was that moment I knew I had to study human rights.
