After my post on facilitating dialogue around Palestine and Israel, I expected all types of feedback. It took time to build the confidence to openly share my approach as I questioned my own choices at times, wondering if I was staying true to the principles of my faith, of justice, of my profession...This topic does not fit neatly into the DEI box. It's also not a religious conflict nor "holy war" as some may think; and yet religion does get entangled in it. A friend and 20+ year community facilitator wrote to me afterwards: "Many of us in the facilitation and trust-building/peace-building field have chosen to educate rather than facilitate as things have reached a point unlike before...at this stage of crisis...it has become impossible for me to even feign any kind of impartiality or neutrality even for facilitation’s sake. [My experience] showed me that...to foster empathy is also not enough. Humans are very capable of compartmentalization. They will stick those they get to know in a separate category and still support or be complicit (even silently) in the murder of plenty of other innocent humans they don’t know. Just because a Zionist befriends one Palestinian doesn’t mean they will suddenly feel they need to care about the other millions of Palestinians..." She isn't wrong about human nature. People do compartmentalize and perhaps 99% of the people I meet will not be moved to further understand or empathize, but if the goal is to educate, we first have to help people build capacity for listening. So, is dialogue the final answer? No. It is just a step along the journey towards a place where coalitions can be built and we can work towards shared goals.

Your awareness of everybody’s roles and responsibilities around you is a duty that contributes to the humanitarian attribute beneath your identity. Such ignorance can adamantly rip out the fabric of the bond and consequently anything else hinging upon it. #Leadership #Responsibility #Awareness #Humanitarian #Teamwork #Bonding #WorkplaceCulture #ProfessionalGrowth #Collaboration #Integrity

Strategies for promoting fairness in decision-making. Fairness is like picking soccer teams: everyone gets a chance to play, not just the strongest. Listen to all ideas, not just the loudest ones.

Respecting individuals' diverse religious beliefs fosters a harmonious and inclusive team environment. Acknowledging and honoring religious practices, traditions, and customs cultivates mutual understanding and appreciation among team members. Embracing religious diversity enriches collaboration, encourages empathy, and promotes a culture of respect and acceptance within the team. #respect #cricket #teambonding #diversity #MAtalks

https://lnkd.in/dvdBkXSf Woman card should be banned. Equality power and legit power should be promoted rather than girl power. When people can't respect bad men, they shouldn't force men to respect bad women. Good men should always be respected the way good women should be respected. Not being ready for gender neutral laws is not godliness at all. Everything shouldn't be women's choice if everything can't be men's choice. Putting the tag of bad over every male and the tag of good over every female is not fair. We need to care for males too, just like how we need to care for females. When harassing a female is not fair on the part of a male, harassing a male is not fair on the part of women as well. When a female files cases such as rape case, molestation case, sexual harassment case, or any other type of case of heinous acts against a male, arresting that male without doing investigation is not fair. Not letting men file even genuine cases of heinous acts against the women is not fair. Whichever punishment can be given to a man harassing a woman or any other man, that same punishment should also be given to a woman harassing a man or any other woman. Laws should be reformed as soon as possible at all costs. #StopHarassmentOfMen #SayNoToDoubleStandards #SayNoToMisandry #StopToxicFeminism #UnreasonableMasterManipulativeTacticsNotAcceptable #DoNotLetWomenEscapeAccountability #DoNotPutWomenOnPedestal #GoodMenAlsoDeserveToBeCaredFor #StopStigmatizingOfPainsOfMen #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo #MenToo

What does it mean to be an Equity Diversity and Inclusion advocate-practitioner at this point in history? How do you reconcile your values with political and corporate responsibility im light of the genocide of Palestinians? How do we operate amidst the structural biases of our companies, western leaders and media environment that either tacitly or overtly supports violence and war and othering narratives that underpin our positional power and privilege? #equitydiversityinclusion #justice #humanityforall #thoughtleadership #power #whiteprivilege #globalisation #positionality #justiceforgaza

It is interesting as we ask about EDI and studying things like intersectionality that people really think that faith/religion are seperate from our culture. The way your culture is inclufences the way you interact with your religion (hence the variations between abayas and thobes). I love how normalised culture day is becoming at schools and colleges to showcase the richness of our diverse society, but I do think the elements of micromanaging what people can or can't wear to fit into the vision really defeats the excitement of it all. I can't even fathom the thought process behind writing the letter in the first place and thinking how it would be received from the community. We need to do better, we need to have better teaching on diversity and it makes me sad how this incident (despite being given an apology) will impact young people and question their place in society based on covering modestly. If thobes and abayas are not considered part of cultural dress, then you may have a (pardon the pun) culture shock when you visit the middle east.

Amplifying Voices of Colour I have to be honest—I’ve struggled with what to say over these last few days. As a white Brit, I feel deeply ashamed. But staying silent isn’t an option. Silence only contributes to a system that is inherently racist and desperately in need of change. By speaking up, we show people that they are loved and supported. Now, more than ever, we need leaders across the UK to step up and call this sickening violence what it is: racist, Islamophobic riots driven by right-wing extremists. We also need companies to ensure they’re not just speaking up but actively supporting their POC and Muslim employees with meaningful action. As for my own influence, the best advice I’ve received has been from the wonderful Sufia Sheikh-Hussain, who encouraged me to “amplify the posts from POC and Muslims who are once again having to advocate for themselves—because our workplaces are still not openly supporting or discussing these issues.” So, please, follow these brilliant people and share what they have to say: - Animah Kosai - Asad Dhunna - Elliott Rae - Hira Ali - Lee Chambers - Leyya Sattar - Sal Naseem FRSA - Sheryl Miller - Sufia Sheikh-Hussain We need to elevate these voices so that together we can create a Britain we can all be proud of—one where everyone feels safe, included, and where diversity is truly celebrated. And please do feel free to add anyone else you think that needs to be followed i the comments below. #AmplifyVoices #SpeakUp #StandAgainstHate #EndRacism #Inclusion
