The Indigenous people of the northern Philippines face escalating tensions as they prepare to defend their ancestral lands against encroaching forces. Indigenous communities express deep concerns, recalling the Spanish Occupation and the Japanese invasion. To protect their livelihoods, cultural heritage, and rights, they are heightening readiness to resist and protect their territories.

CONFLICT ASSESSMENT: THE STATE OF HUMANITY IN CONFLICT, GLOBAL PEACE, DESENSITIZATION, LACK OF EMPATHY AND DIRTY POLITICS.  https://lnkd.in/gfKenntZ Compassion is the practice of empathy. Over the last few years, there has been a rise in the lack of empathy, disregard for others, and joy in the cruelty done to others. This has raised fascism all over the world, and despicable politicians become moral 'zombies' https://lnkd.in/gZBv7nPK These macabre actions of humanity are among religious and non-religious groups, but dirty politics and despicable political characters amplify them. https://lnkd.in/gcC44_Wu Compassion is not just about feeling sorry for someone; it involves deep concern and a deep connection with all those who hurt first. This active engagement allows us to understand and touch the pain of others truly and, in turn, bring them solace. Senseless groups expand cruelty as evil while celebrating their actions. https://lnkd.in/gN_KMNvk The killing of Palestinian children, the invasion of Ukraine and the attacks on Haitians are only a symptom of the profound horror lurking below the surface of humanity. We need the politics of empathy and not the return of nazi politicians and armies. https://lnkd.in/gjqijXDR Compassion is more than a concept. It can take various forms, from offering comfort to preventing mistakes. Each manifestation of empathy can profoundly and positively impact the lives of others and our world and help us see the world with kindness. Use your power and resources to advance peace; peace is empathy in action!

New Blog Post - Myth Busters – Asylum Seekers Talking about the asylum process can be tough. Entrenched political policy and the divisive nature of culture wars can mean the truth is often twisted or lost entirely. Breaking down asylum myths through open conversation is key to help all our communities grow. Talking about it is tough, but it is also vital. If we are to build a fairer, kinder asylum system. These common questions can lead to courageous conversations which in turn can help to break down asylum myths. https://lnkd.in/dhfkuQiE

Cultivating a Culture of Peace We so need this. "Each year, the International Day of Peace is marked globally on 21 September. The UN General Assembly has proclaimed this day dedicated to fortifying the principles of peace, highlighted by 24 hours of non-aggression and ceasefire. Now, more than ever, our world cries out for peace." . . . . . #blackdoginstitute #lifelineaustralia #ruok #reachout mentalhealtmatters #mentalwellbeing #beyondblue #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #headspaceday #woventhreadsvividsydney #wewarewoventhreads #realstoriesrealchange #socialimpact #aiavitality #behavourialchange #corporatesocialresponsibility #socialimpact #socialenterprise #socialissues #refugees

After 25 years of Indigenous struggles, on September 13, 2007, the United Nations acknowledged #IndigenousPeoplesRights through the adoption of the #UNDRIP. It recognizes that #IndigenousPeoples have endured colonization, genocide, and dispossession and demands that national States guarantee their rights.
