World Humanitarian Day
The time has come again to celebrate another UN observance! Today is World Humanitarian Day, a day that aims to bring together people from across the humanitarian system to advocate for the survival, well-being and dignity of people affected by crises and for the safety and security of aid workers. In that vein, I thought it would be a great opportunity to use this platform to raise awareness of some of the humanitarian crises that are happening currently and what you can do to help. It is not a light topic, but an important one.
International Human Solidarity Day
On Monday it is International Human Solidarity Day. The UN defines International Human Solidarity Day (IHSD) as a day that celebrates human unity and diversity, whilst acting as a reminder for governments to stick to their pledges and raise awareness for the ‘Sustainable Agenda’.
Intro to Ecofeminism
Without gender-equality and racial justice, there is no environmental justice. Ecofeminism was born from an awareness that a holistic solution to all must be created and globally adopted. In broad terms, this movement brings together (you guessed it), environmentalism and feminism in both political activism and intellectual critique.
