Nosapo's Executive Director spoke at Wheamun 2019. Read what she had to say below and the speech itself here: www.elephantjournal.com/2019/04/our-path-to-impactful-change . ・・・ I've been waiting a long time for people to be able to hear me, and I got one chance at a microphone today. I took time on these words because it means a lot to me to have been asked to be the keynote speaker at this event, speaking to young people about how to create impactful change (the theme). This is what I talked about at the Wheaton College Model United Nations Conference: www.elephantjournal.com/2019/04/our-path-to-impactful-change/ . . #change #humanrights #nosapo #writing #speech #un #publicspeaking #youthoftoday #modelun #unitednations #elephantjournal #today #world #refugee #asylum #work #makeadifference #love #anarchy #politics #trump #salvini #usa
Rolling out new human rights education materials! The Nosapo Womens Rights Curriculum was created for our partners, Differenza Donna in Rome. Differenza Donna formed in 1989 with the goal of exposing, combating, preventing and overcoming gender-based violence. Since the beginning, the Association has held the view that the discrimination, marginalisation and oppression of women are a widespread, complex and serious social phenomenon that can be effectively fought through specific competences only.

#Repost @alotrolado_org ・・・ Al Otro Lado is supporting an essential partner in the reunification of families, @BorderKindness, who has tirelessly advocated to ensure that migrant families and children are provided with holistic medical care at the Mexicali/Calexico Border Region. Due to the Trump administrations', "Remain in Mexico" Policy, @BorderKindness has experienced a critical rise in the number of families who are in need of medical and nutritional care, and has provided migrants with rapid response holistic care, in unprecedented number. As of today they are the ONLY organization on the ground in that region providing essential humanitarian relief. Al Otro Lado's, Mexicali Migrant Healing Fund will uplift the work of our partner, @BorderKindness to ensure that migrants and families receive dignified support as they seek asylum.

Today the House Democratic leadership will try and formally censure Rep. Ilhan Omar — a black Somali-American Muslim woman who came to the United States as a refugee, and who, in recent days, has been compared to the 9/11 terrorists by Republicans in West Virginia and described as “filth” by an adviser to the president — for saying that she wanted “to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.” Her fellow congressional Democrats have said little or nothing about the aforementioned and shameful Republican record of anti-Semitism, but many have joined the pile-on against Omar. One of them — Rep. Juan Vargas — went out of his way to insist, rather revealingly, that “questioning support for the U.S.-Israel relationship is unacceptable.” . . The president of the United States has called neo-Nazis “very fine people”; retweeted neo-Nazis; told an audience of Jewish-Americans that Israel is “your country”; and indulged in viciously anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. While running for office, he tweeted an image of Hillary Clinton inside a Star of David, next to a pile of cash; told an audience of Jewish donors, “You want to control your politicians, that’s fine”; and put out a campaign ad that attacked three rich and powerful Jewish figures. While a private citizen, he insisted only “short guys that wear yarmulkes” should count his money and kept a book of Adolf Hitler’s speeches on his bedside table. He has never apologized for any of this. Nor has he been censured by Congress. Since coming to office, he has hired, among others, Sebastian Gorka — who made the Nazi-linked Hungarian group Vitézi Rend “proud” when he wore its medal to an inauguration ball — and Steve Bannon, who didn’t want his daughters attending a particular school in Los Angeles because of “the number of Jews.” Neither of them has apologized. Nor have they been censured by Congress.

#MotivationMonday “We are currently seeing the rising of nationalist parties that are supported by a big portion of the local populations and are endangering asylum seekers and refugees. Beyond political views, we should not forget that at the core of migration there are human beings, so we should focus on their protection. Being an advocate for refugee rights means having the opportunity to be practically involved in their support, I hope that our vision of the world will help present and future governments adopting better asylum policies.” -Cristina Pagone: Nosapo Resaerch & Writing Volunteer, and Italian Translator. . . Photo by: Caroline Gavazzi of Nimra from Pakistan in Calabria, Italy . . Go to our Motivation Monday Series: www.nosapo.com/motivation-monday - and hear from members of Nosapo's team; We hope this series will encourage those already in advocacy work to keep going, and also to spur those who have been thinking about jumping in to take their first steps in getting involved. At Nosapo, we want to explore how to create sustainable advocacy work - applying passion, idealism, and practical solutions to the gritty reality of need. . .

Over a thousand allegations of sexual abuse against unaccompanied minors in HHS custody were reported to federal authorities each fiscal year since 2015. In total, between October 2014 and July 2018, 4,556 sexual abuse complaints were reported to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). . . One of the documents, which details the allegations of sexual abuse by adult facility staff during fiscal years 2015 and 2016, describes incidents in which unaccompanied minors reported they had been shown pornographic material, forcibly kissed, or inappropriately touched or fondled. "The gravity here is a systematic concealment of children being sexually abused, children being exposed to those kinds of acts," Democratic California Rep. Lou Correa . .

#MOTIVATIONMONDAY: Read Nosapo's interview with Robert Katende - Ugandan social entrepreneur & humanitarian with a one-of-a-kind strategy to fight poverty in the slums. . "What motivates me comes from way back, from how I grew up. I grew up in the slums in a very poor setting... I’ve lived a life of struggle, a life of endurance, a life of perseverance, to make things happen. I made a commitment to myself because I had no one else. I made a commitment to myself to survive and be someone I would desire to be - the person who can step in the gap - because I knew what it meant to grow up in the slums, because I’ve really lived that life of struggle." . -He founded the SOM Chess Academy in Uganda, fostering leadership and life skills through mastery of the game among the youth of ghetto community in Kampala. Participants have gone on to college and attained successful careers. It was on one of these students that the 2016 Disney movie Queen of Katwe was based. Katende has expanded SOM Chess Academy's Philosophy to seven other locations across East Africa, as well countries in South America and North America. . -Nosapo's Inspiration Compilation features individuals who activate positive change and inspire us. These are our allies and people whom we admire. We have chosen to highlight their stories and the work that they do because not only is the work impressive, but their devotion to it as well. It is this perseverance that is special to these individuals who recognize their power and human potential, and use it for good. In great appreciation, here we will share their stories and illustrate their accomplishments and hurdles in the work that they do. . . . #Uganda #Kampala #Slums #Chess #Inspiration #Poverty #Katwe #QueenofKatwe #Disney #Interview #Journalism #Africa #Rise #Prosper #HumanRights #Academy #Writing #Article #Humanitarian #Entrepreneur #Leader #Leadership #story #persevere #community #Motivation #Inspire  #brothers #sisters 📷📽:A Fork A Spoon and A Knight www.queenofkatwe.com/a-fork-a-spoon-a-knight/
