I was recently approached by Dani Sevilla, who represents a group called Survivor Corps — a group I was up until then unfamiliar with. Dani very politely asked me if I could perhaps help in spreading the word on their efforts to get cluster bombs banned.
After researching them a little and finding out a little bit more about their aims and philosophy, I decided that I would indeed like to help them reach a few more people — hence this post.
It’s always seemed to me that in order to solve any kind of humanitarian or social problem it’s vital to, where possible, involve those at the heart of it. In many respects, it’s common sense that they will be the most motivated to bring it to end and be able to speak with real authority on the issues concerned. And, yet, so many groups and organisations still don’t see this. Survivor Corps does.
If the problem of cluster bombs concerns you, please take a moment to read their news release relating to this. If you can help in some way, I’m sure it would be appreciated.
