Petition for UNICEF to take action against child killing in Syria

About

If you could change the world, what would you do?
The reality is, it's up to us.

Scream for Change aims to spread awareness and inspire action on a variety of issues, both through our own work and by supporting other organizations working toward change. We have a general focus on human rights and environmental issues, but these areas include so many more topics. There's no doubt you'll find something here that you believe in.

`

Every great movement starts with a passing thought. That thought turns into an idea. Ideas, when genuine and beneficial, can spread like wildfire - all it takes is one person with the heart and motivation to light the match. Here at Scream for Change, our match is lit. That’s where you come in.

future

At Scream for Change we want to expand our horizons beyond Tumblr and the internet. We firmly believe that this can evolve into something much more, now all we need to do is get out there, spread the word, and make it happen.

We have big plans for SFC - but still being new, it's all a work in progress. A lot of this depends on you - please, make suggestions for what you want to see!
1. Scream for Change website/social networking pages? (Forums? Chat? Everything!)
2. FREE pins, bracelets, brochures, cards, etc. to spread the word about Scream for Change
3. Scream for Change memberships, possibly with additional incentives?
4. Merch? (all proceeds going towards a charity/cause, of course)
5. Bigger fundraisers/benefits, sponsored by Scream for Change (for various issues) - not limited to online, either!

Petition for UNICEF to take action against child killing in Syria

stay-human:

universalidentity:

To all my followers, please take the time to sign this petition for the children of Syria, it is one small thing to do, to help a situation that most of us can do almost nothing to help those in the Middle East in their struggles.

We, the Undersigned Citizens, hereby demand:

THAT UNICEF along with other Human Rights Organizations spread awareness about this cause. We also demand that UNICEF and Amnesty International investigate the murder of this young child and many like him. Bashar al Assad must be stopped. This is unacceptable. It is inhumane.

Hamzah Ali Alkhateeb, a boy of only 13 years, went with his family from Aljeezah in the march to break the siege in Deraa, he was among the unlucky hundreds detained during the massacre of Seda in front of the army barrier.

Hamzah’s dead body was later handed over to his family with clear traces of torture, bruises all over his body, bullets have penetrated his body, and even more… his gentile was cut and then he was killed.

Hamzah is only one of the thousands of victims of the murderous regime of Alassad.

The story of Hamza is unfortunately one of many. There are many men, women, children, elderly who have yet to be returned to their families. One cannot fathom the amount of torture inflicted upon these unarmed civilians by the hateful and barbaric Syrian regime.
