The absence of inclusivity is a significant factor contributing to disputes within an organization and within a community. When individuals or groups feel excluded, it can generate negative emotions that ultimately harm the peace of both the institution and the community. It is crucial to ensure that everyone is given an opportunity to voice their opinions and perspectives. Do you agree? #PeaceAdvocate #Womeninpeace

Sacred Heart Mission You got it wrong. It appears the only safety risk when working at Sacred Heart Mission is that if you protest genocide and speak up for the masses being killed, maimed, orphans - something Jesus might have spoken up for, than you will get the sack from Sacred Heart. How so often have Christian organisations gotten off mission and punished the innocent especially by supporting colonising power. No-one can say they support the teachings of Jesus and then act like this. Such behaviour is a violation of the Sacred Heart. I request that you bring yourself to account and make all redemptive actions. https://lnkd.in/g2bW_PWF

We usually relate peace-building efforts to areas affected by conflict and war, exclusively. But the truth is we can be peace-builder everywhere as long as structural violence (and violence in all its forms) exists. The definition of positive peace distinguishes that peace is not just the absence of war but social justice, equality, and the wellbeing of communities. As Theirworld has highlighted, early childhood is where inequality begins. Focusing on the early years can stop the structural causes of violence in our communities. It’s in our hands to advocate so that our children have the right opportunities and resources to develop their fully potential. And help create more just, egalitarian and sustainable communities. #ActForEarlyYears #EarlyYears #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment #Peace #Peacebuilding

Allyship, accomplice, or conspirator: which role do you embody daily? Understanding these distinctions can help us all be more effective in our advocacy for justice and equity. 💜 Ally: Supports marginalized groups through words and actions. Allies are important, but their role often remains within safe boundaries. 💜 Accomplice: Takes more direct action to challenge and dismantle systems of oppression, often putting their own comfort or safety on the line. 💜 Co-Conspirator: Works alongside marginalized communities to co-create strategies for change, often deeply embedded in the struggles and solutions. Moving from ally to accomplice to conspirator means taking deeper, more impactful actions! 💜 Like  💻 Comment  📲 Share #DEI #Allyship #SupportEachOther #InclusiveCommunity #MakeADifference

Despite growing fear and isolation amid rising antisemitism, European Jewish leaders and professionals are not seeking to emigrate, and they remain committed to their communities and strengthening engagement between Jews and Jewish communities. These are among the findings of the just released Sixth Survey of European Jewish Community Leaders and Professionals (https://bit.ly/3A2f0bc) conducted by JDC’s International Center for Community Development. This major survey provides an in-depth look at how the October 7th terror attack impacted shifting attitudes about antisemitism, communal safety, and other issues facing the European Jewish community. Several recent articles explore key findings and you can read them here: eJewish Philanthropy (https://bit.ly/3y9YxkK), JTA (https://bit.ly/4cPp9Xt), Times of Israel (https://bit.ly/4cUxFEs), and Haaretz (https://bit.ly/3Sos5lB).
