Monitoring and Evaluation Consultant @ Commonwealth of Learning Dedicated to Empowering Women & Girls | Advocate for Community Support & Newcomers Integration | Cultural Liaison | Aspiring Project Manager
I had the privilege of attending the VAST Symposium on Torture. The event delved into profound topics such as Torture, Refuge, Trauma, post-immigration struggles, healing, resources, and the invaluable support of the community throughout this journey. It was deeply inspiring to hear Mahbubeh Mojtahed's courageous life story, marked by resilience and acceptance in the face of adversity. Such a great example of bravery for us all. Sara Lopez representing IRCT shared her transformative journey from survivor to healer, emphasizing the power of community support. Shazia Munir's insights into the enduring impacts of torture and lifelong trauma on immigrants' lives shed light on the urgent need for understanding and support. Additionally, Spozhmay O.'s research on the tragic attack on Kabul University struck a chord with me, resonating deeply with my roots in Kabul. As a survivor of Psychological Torture and Trauma in a war-torn country and then forced immigration, I've grappled with short-term memory loss, traumatic shocks, self and social isolation, sleep problems, and procrastination for a long time. If you're facing similar challenges, remember that you're not alone! please speak up and seek help. "There is no health without mental health, and for Refugees it shouldn't be a luxury it should be a human right!" Special thanks to VAST_BC and Frank Cohn for their tireless efforts in raising awareness of these critical social issues. #Immigration #TortureSurvivor #Refugee #MentalHealthAwareness #Resilience #VASTSymposium 🕊️
VAST Symposium on Torture will take place on the 2 nd floor of ISS of BC Welcome Center on February 27th 2024. While the topics are heavy and difficult, we are clear that public awareness is needed, scientific approaches are essential, voices of lived experience are a gift to us all, and Healing is an Act of Resistance.

Understanding hope in a philosophical light compels us to reflect on our roles within this dynamic. As global citizens, how do we respond to the hope of others in distress? Do our actions contribute to the fulfillment or the frustration of this hope? Such reflection will determine the way we answer these questions and shapes not just policies and responses to crises (refugee crisis and others) but the very fabric of our shared humanity. Hope, then, is not merely a survival and health strategy; it is a profound testament to the resilience and indefatigable spirit of those who dare to dream of a better tomorrow amidst the rubble of their pasts. It challenges each of us to respond with compassion and justice, ensuring that hope is not a cruel irony but a prelude to a new beginning.

A national security & human rights lawyer, journalist, & geopolitical analyst, Fellow at Arabian Peninsula Institute, Fellow at Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs
Don't miss a timely and thought-provoking discussion on The Washington Outsider #Report on Coalition Radio with Dr. Elizabeth Weiss, a professor of anthropology who gives us an inside glance on the practical MISapplications of indigenous knowledge and repatriation of Native American remains and artifacts, including the revised regulations to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) which went into effect January 12, 2024, setting a five-year deadline for museums and Federal agencies to consult and update inventories of human remains and associated objects, among other changes. We also discuss the penetration of "indigenous knowledge" regulations into a wide range of federal frameworks, impacting everything from the courts to the food, health, and infectious disease regulation. Interestingly enough, shortly after recording this segment I ended up at an American Bar Association conference talk which discussed the use of Native Americans as expert and other types of witnesses and courts and other issues related to indigenous knowledge, and my takeaway was that without a question there are instances when that type of expertise is very appropriate and valuable and can complement the gaps in information among other scientists and other types of experts. However, the discussion with Dr. Weiss sheds light on the instances where the law attempts to provide a remedy for past shortcomings in ways that are remarkably ill-suited to the existing frameworks, making it very difficult to separate the various instances where indigenous concerns, expertise, and cultural guidances are inherently helpful and instances where the federal law overreaches in its enthusiasm for embracing these cultural differences and ends up imposing more harm than good on all involved. The worst part is when very broad and complicated issues end up being mostly resolved based on the pressure exerted by activists. And when wokism and self-flagellation enter the picture, all good intentions end up backfiring and paving the road to hell instead

Everybody needs a place to live!! South Carolina topped the list for the most popular state to move to in 2023, measured by proportion of persons moving in and out of the state, in large part because it is 11.5% cheaper than the average state in the country. In addition, healthcare and tech industries are also growing rapidly in many cities in the state, including Columbia, Greenville and Lockhart.
