Theme "Right to protest"
Everyone has the right to protest. It is an indispensable tool in the fight against injustice and protests are the driving force for change worldwide. People work together to bring about that change, but the commitment of each individual demonstrator also counts.
And you can protest in different ways: by taking to the streets together, taking action online or, for example, by making cartoons. Every protest can inspire and make you dream of a better future. But the right to protest is currently under attack.
