Hello I have came up with an idea or plan of wanting to campaign for conscription (compulsory military service) to finally be abolished in other countries like Syria, Mexico and Switzerland because people are campaigning now for the death penalty to be abolished in other countries and because no one should be forced into the military as this is wrong and it is slavery too. Also because the military is a dangerous thing for everyone to be forced to do it against their will. I would like to campaign for it to end but I am a bit scared and worried now to start a campaign like that because I am worried that not many people will agree with the campaign in which they should do because conscription risks many lives and also I wish that people will agree with certain things like that. I really hate this world and I want this world to be better and to change too.

    It is great that you want to make the world a better place, have you thought about getting in touch with your MP? Maybe they could offer some support or advise on your campaign? You can find your local MP here.

    Have you ever thought about speaking to Amnesty International?

    I have spoke to Amnesty International about wanting to start a campaign like that but it is a shame that they are not campaigning for something like that at the moment in which they should already start to do it because conscription is wrong and no one should be forced to do it.

    And I never thought I could speak to my local MP about starting a campaign.

    They might have ideas that could help you, or be able to signpost you to someone who can?
