SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA, September 17, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Is the world only black and white or is it prismatic? Are human beings supposed to be either right or wrong and who will decide which side of the fence they are on? Human Rights is an issue that is always on the surface and also one that has not managed to surface from the deep waters of discrimination and oppression. Even today, we live in a society where the strong will continue gaining power and the meek will be trampled upon.

Those who live sheltered lives have no idea and neither will they believe that there are people around them and certain segments of society who are not given the chance to realize that they have a choice. Ann Marie Puig the philanthropist millionaire believes that the minute a person’s freedom of choice (regardless of whether it is a right or wrong one), is taken away, is a manipulation of sorts.

Ann Marie Puig is an unshakeable champion of the human rights cause. She avers that every person, in the development of his/her personality has full rights to hold a belief and form an opinion. The minute that belief is suppressed or that opinion and expression trampled upon, it is nothing less than an affront to that person’s dignity and a gross negation of his/her essential nature.

The Silent Crusader

She has worked ceaselessly in the shadows for the human rights cause and is an activist who never buckles. And so, when Ann Marie Puig made a massive donation for paying legal fees to El Centro por la Justicia y el Derecho Internacional, it simply highlighted her strong commitment to the cause.

The minute she sees injustice being meted out in any form, her determined avatar makes an appearance and she never seeks social desirability sanctions. She takes the issue by the horns so to say and knows full well that only idealism is not going to serve the cause and that her monetary contributions can be effective ammunition to throw the wrongdoers out of gear.

She does not stand on the rooftops and scream slogans or create a noise. Her silence and actions are stronger than the loudest protests and she makes a tangible difference with her donations. This is not to say that she lies low, but she chooses not be part of the cacophony created by phonies who are looking for a spot in the limelight. And in a way, that is what true courage is all about.

El Centro por la Justicia y el Derecho Internacional is a heavyweight member of the Organization of American States and works on a range of human rights issues. Ann Marie Puig supports the CEJIL cause and professes that peace can only be possible with information and justice and she backs these opinions with her philanthropy. She does not believe in looking at the world through a one-way mirror and fights ceaselessly for creating fairer and better societies.

CEJIL is a non-profit, non-governmental regional organization that avidly protects human rights across the Americas. The organization operates out of 4 different offices in Costa Rica, Argentina, Brazil and the United States.
