About this Event
Hoot Welfare Society organises National Essay Writing Competition, “EXPRESSAY 2.0” given spreading awareness amongst the youth about social justice.
Social justice is the view that everyone deserves equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities. We hooters aim to open the doors of access and opportunity for everyone, particularly those in greatest need.”
Inequality takes many forms, and people are still waiting on their ability to live freely, safely, or, just to live.
How are social issues and conceptions of justice constructed through language? What can you do to reframe how you talk about equality and what it means to seek justice?
Public space is no longer just in person —build your on-line action community, too.
Keeping the above views in mind, Law Bloom, Hoot Welfare Society is elated to organise this event.
