Generation Z has been leading the charge in these rallies, which have been more frequent in many regions of the world in recent years.
Protests must be used properly even if they are a fundamental right and an effective tool for enacting change. The member of parliament for the Sirisia seat, Honorable John Waluke, has provoked a contentious discussion by implying that Gen Z protestors run the chance of being killed in the same way as the thousands of people who perished in the Rwandan genocide. Even if there may be risks connected to protests, it's also critical to realize the transformative potential of these actions.
Throughout history, protests have played a crucial role in bringing about social and political change, as evidenced by the Arab Spring in the Middle East and the American civil rights struggle. They offer a forum where injustices may be revealed and marginalized voices can be heard. It is imperative, therefore, that demonstrators use prudence and make sure their actions do not endanger others or themselves. Protests lose their intended aim when violence or disruptive behavior is used, and there may be unfavorable outcomes.
It would be more beneficial for demonstrators to concentrate on nonviolent and productive ways of promoting their causes and views. Despite the unsettling nature of Honorable John Waluke's remarks, Gen Z protestors must continue to be watchful and engage in appropriate activity.
Although they must be carried out in a way that emphasizes safety and fosters meaningful discourse, protests have the potential to effect constructive change. Gen Z may escape the sad destiny that Honorable John Waluke foresaw by doing this, and they can go on to be a driving force for advancement and social justice.
