February 20, exactly a week from today, is World Day of Social Justice. We encourage you to check this link out to learn more, and follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest updates.
The question we are encouraging you to think about is, “What do all people deserve?” To get you thinking, consider the Hierarchy of Needs as created by psychologist Abraham Maslow, and reflect on what sort of items you personally value versus the things you could live without.
This would be my answer: All people deserve the right to pursue their dreams and better themselves and their families. The structural issues that hold individuals and communities back from reaching their potential and contributing to the world in a positive, meaningful way is a violation of human rights and should be one of the top priorities of governments and organizations all around to the world.”

We here at GlobeMed at Northwestern also believe all people deserve to have access to proper and comprehensive health care because health is a human right. If you believe that too, please help support us in any way you can, though donations to our Global Giving website or Web Thrift Shop.
