About this Quote

This quote by Shirin Ebadi speaks with the root causes of terrorism. It suggests that when an individual is denied their fundamental rights and does not have access to education, they are most likely to rely on terrorism as a form of demonstration. This implies that terrorism is an outcome of a lack of chance and a sense of powerlessness. It suggests that if individuals are provided the chance to access education and their rights are respected, they are less most likely to rely on terrorism. This quote highlights the importance of providing people with access to education and securing their rights in order to prevent terrorism. It also suggests that terrorism is a symptom of a bigger issue, and that addressing the underlying problems is the only way to really avoid it.
