Internet Advocacy: How It Has Shifted Human Rights Struggles
We also see how online activism get result in institutional and material changes to the reality of people who suffer various forms of oppression. Take for instance, Chidi Topaz Olujie, an advocate for the rights of Persons with Disability in Nigeria. At the age of two after being misdiagnosed with malaria when, in fact, he had contracted mumps, Olujie suffered complications that resulted in permanent deafness. Refusing to allow his disability to stop him, he went on to earn a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Special Education from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria and is currently enrolled in a Doctor of Education degree in Special Education.
