Using Your Talents to Highlight This Issue
Whatever your talent or career, you can do something to highlight this awful situation. If you are an artist, make art about it, put on a show about it. If you are a writer or journalist, write a blog, an article, books, poems about it. If you are in the medical profession, contact your union, professional body and let them know your concerns, make it an item in an agenda or a conference. If you can’t think of how you can help, make it a topic of conversation, think of a way you can make some noise.
