Author: admin | Category: Emo bands, Emo kids

Representatives of Mexico National Human Rights Commission have made the statement saying that followers of the youth subculture known as “Emo” regularly are exposed to discrimination and violence from on the side of other youth streams. The commission offers to give regular lessons on which specially educated people will lead an explanatory discussion at the Mexican schools and develop tolerance at listeners with respect to modern youth subcultures.

Let’s remind that at the beginning of the 2008th in some cities of Mexico have passed mass demonstrations with participation of members of youth subculture “Emo”, caused disorders which should be removed not without the aid of police. At that time emo just protested against the prejudiced and aggressive relation to them. But, it appears, that they have not pursued their object. However, that fact that Human Rights Commission have paid attention to discrimination of Emo, already speaks about something.

According to plan of the Commission, government organizations must develop the educational program of tolerance and to provide giving of regular explanatory lessons at the Mexican schools. Response to this offer has not followed yet. But Mexican Emo hope that their country becomes the first state in the world, which not simply paid attention to their problems, but also gave so necessary support to them.
