🆕BLOG👉🏿Close the Gap Campaign on the recent Productivity Commission Review and much needed power shift and systems change ahead of National Close the Gap Day 2024 on 21 March. “When the Close the Gap Campaign advocated for and supported the long-awaited change – culminating in the current 2020 National Agreement – we did so understanding that the intention was to create a stronger focus on human rights, intersectionality, and a holistic systems-lens that elevates First Nations ways of knowing, being, and doing. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples know that systems change is a core component to progressing the socio-economic targets.” #blog #newblog #ClosetheGap #ClosingtheGap #NationalCTGDay2024 #JourneyTogether #SelfDetermination #ProductivityCommission #ACCHO

Executive Facilitator, Parents Alliance for Inclusion. Advocate for parents of neurodivergent and disabled children at international schools.
#InternationalSchools senior leaders of today and tomorrow should listen well to the leadership of Caroline Casey and the Valuable 500 in the business world. The below linked speech on YouTube is all heart and brutal truth incredible. If the goal of #GlobalCitizenshipEducation is to create tomorrow’s leaders and innovators, it’s important to be aware of today’s trends. Otherwise, the education provided is aiming toward targets of generations in the past of today’s and tomorrow’s high school graduates. Good night #DisabilityDay. May every day be an International Day of Persons with Disabilities. May every day become a day where all people feel a sense of #WellBeingAndBelonging. Someday, maybe we can become an advanced and human enough society to celebrate an Exclusionary Remembrance Day one day a year, to reflect upon all the things people did to each other in the past millennia, in so many bygone days and years. Someday. #InclusionEveryoneBenefits #ElevateEducationOutcomesForAllStudents

#ICYMI: Watch our full event for our #InternationalDemocracyDay event, "Inclusive Democracy for Sustainable Development," held on 15 September 2023 at United Nations HQ in New York, NY. Organized in partnership with the Permanent Mission of Costa Rica to the United Nations and International IDEA, this year's #IDD event sought to deepen our understanding of the profound relationship between inclusive democracy, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and this year's SDG Summit. The discussion explored the multidimensional nature of these relationships and served to recognize the pivotal role played by democratic governance, principles, and institutions in pursuing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Panel 1: Promoting Inclusive Democratic Processes and Citizen Participation for Peaceful and Just Societies This panel explored the challenges faced by marginalized communities in accessing and participating in democratic processes, while highlighting strategies to address these barriers and foster inclusive democracy. It examined the importance of gender equality (SDG 5), reduced inequalities (SDG 10), and peace, justice, and strong institutions (SDG 16) in shaping inclusive democratic processes. The first panel featured Permanent Representative of Costa Rica to the UN Amb. .Maritza .Chan, Mr. John Romano of TAP Network: Transparency, Accountability & Participation for the 2030 Agenda, Ms. Regina Waugh of The International Foundation for Electoral Systems, and Ms. Emilia Saiz of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG). The panel was moderated by Moussa Kondo of the Sahel Institute. Panel 2: Overcoming Barriers and Amplifying Marginalized Voices in Democracy In an evolving global landscape, the influence of social norms on both democratic institutions and sustainable advancement remains undeniable. These unwritten societal rules often serve as either catalysts or barriers to the aims of key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This panel took a closer look at these norms, especially in the context of SDGs like SDG5 (Gender Equality), SDG10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). The second panel began with introductory remarks by Ms. Pia Wanek., CEO of DT Institute. Speakers included Dr. Nancy Okail of the Center for International Policy, Mr. Christian Lamarre of the UN Democracy Fund, Mr. Ivan Marovic of the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict, and Ms. Mercedes Say of Maya K'iche Nation. The panel was moderated by Mr. Vukasin Petrovic of DT Institute. The event also featured lightning talks from Ms. Roselie Vasquez-Yetter of PartnersGlobal, Ms. Cecillia Makonyola of Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD), and Dr. Dmitri Daniel Glinski and Ms. Liubov Stasiv of the Ukrainian- and Russian-American Antiwar Roundtable.

**Opinion Piece**: *Please note, the views expressed in this are solely personal and do not represent any affiliated organisations.* Navigating the digital landscape recently has become increasingly challenging. As I continue to scroll, I'm met with a barrage of comments and opinions on voice content that are, quite frankly, disheartening. It's reminiscent of a more painful era – an era where my ancestors faced the brunt of systemic oppression, where indigenous Australians were unjustly segregated and ostracised from society. Decades have passed since those dark days, and as a nation, we've strived to bridge the gap. From the push for reconciliation to championing self-determination and uplifting Indigenous-owned businesses, we've come a long way. Reconciliation Action Plan procurement and workforce targets have played a pivotal role in ensuring a brighter future for Indigenous Australians. These plans, crafted meticulously over years, provide a roadmap for organisations to support Indigenous endeavours and ensure that our community thrives. However, with the rumblings of the NO campaign and corporations contemplating the abandonment of their RAP initiatives, we stand at a concerning crossroad. Such decisions, especially when taken without the invaluable insights and leadership of the Indigenous community, have the potential to unravel the progress we've painstakingly made. It is crucial to understand that RAP initiatives are more than just corporate responsibility checklists; they represent the very essence of inclusion, representation, and mutual respect. Abandoning them not only signifies a step backward but also risks damaging the relationship that has been so carefully nurtured between Indigenous Australians and the broader community. In this age of digital enlightenment and global awareness, it's imperative that we do not lose sight of the lessons from our past and the aspirations for our future. We must remember the importance of Indigenous voices, leadership, and perspectives in every aspect of our society. To witness potential regression is, indeed, heart-wrenching. It's a call to action for all Australians to reaffirm their commitment to a unified and inclusive future, where Indigenous culture and contributions are not only recognised but celebrated. I’m exhausted….. and I’m not ok (anymore)
