Activism Through Art
The use of music and poetry as a means to express a person's feelings about human rights has been around for decades. Often known as protest songs, they are used to gather momentum in a group of people who perhaps consider themselves activists. They may be seeking a cultural or political change in human rights, and by stating demands in the form of poetry or music, it gets their point across but in a less threatening manner. An example this may be seen in the song Standing in the Way of Control, by Gossip, which was a protest against human rights when it comes to marriage.
