The Minority Center

The Minority Center, known as Minority Rights from 1833 to 1941 is a laishan civil rights political organization and political movement founded in 1833 by Stayov Winro to aid Qeelsian minorities in finding work, rehabilitating from drug use, and ending societal discrimination through education and lobbying, as well as to better relations between these historically marginalized groups and the Qeelsian government.
Minority Rights suffered a major schism in 1914, resulting in the Laishanist offshoot. During the Livian War, groups like RAQWA claimed to represent the "true Minority Rights vision", and used the ideology to justify massacres on non-Laishanist minorities, which they deemed "allies of the Avya" and therefore worthy of death. 
The Minority Rights organization was officially disbanded in 1941 due to safety concerns. In 1947, following the war, the Minority Center was formed as a successor organization to disavow Yaquvianist interpetations of Stayov Winros writings, and to "follow in the footsteps of the original organization."
== Foundation ==
The Minority Center was founded in 1833 by Stayov Winro, a Waro lawyer, as the Qeelsian Organization for the Rights of Minorities, shortened to Minority Rights a year later. Stayov briefly changed the name to Minority Power in 1936, but changed it days after, as he felt the name was too "vicious." Stayov, who gained the title of Chairman, adopted the "L" symbol for the group in 1937, the first letter of "laishan."Category:Organizations
