This article is to promote the activities of WITNESS.
http://www.witness.org/
WITNESS uses video and online technologies to open the eyes of the world to human rights violations.
WITNESS was founded in 1992 by musician and activist Peter Gabriel and the Reebok Human Rights Foundation.
I see in WITNESS an example of empowerment of multitude, diversified yet networked individuals.

The combination of human rights awareness and advanced technology gives power to individuals as multitude to change the courses of the policies of some nations. English serves here as an extremely convenient means of global communication.
I am proud that I am a teacher of that language.
