Reihane Taravati, The Photographer and Civil Rights Activist Arrested

Come up with a personal mission statement

What’s a “personal mission statement?” This is a statement that encompasses your goals, purpose, and the value you bring to the human rights arena. It’s the kind of thing that would go on top of a resume, so the human rights organizations you want to work for get a clear idea of who you are as a person and what you’ll add to a team. Writing this statement (which can be up to three sentences) is an extremely valuable exercise in self-reflection and forces you to dig really deeply into why you have a passion for human rights.
