IWDA has been working with a #DecolonisingSolidarity framework called the 3Ss: a question-led tool that helps us know when to use our power to Step Up, Stand With or Step Back. The framing around stepping back has been a particularly valuable unlearning. - @jojomaia #ACFID2022

@OfaGuttenbeil explains that this will be free following conversation without hierarchy. In doing so, speakers are challenging patriarchal norms and hoping to facilitate inclusion. This will be a conversation about learning, unlearning and rebuilding. #ACFID2022

The Va is the space between relationships. Taking the risk to unlearn and relearn. Sitting with uncertainty and discomfort, and knowing when to step back says @OfaGuttenbeil before sharing another bell hooks quote with a rallying reminder. #ACFID2022

@ParadiesYin clarifies concepts including Whiteness, Coloniality, and Modernity, before encouraging us to challenge dominant norms and move towards transformative approaches. #ACFID2022

@OfaGuttenbeil shares a quote from one of her favourite feminist thinkers, bell hooks. Powerful words about dismantling systems of oppression to realise collective freedom and liberation. #ACFID2022 #Decoloniality @ACFID

Finally, @ParadiesYin leaves us with #decolonial perspectives and questions for reflection. #ACFID2022 #DecoloniseDevelopment

This #WorldWildlifeDay, ACFID is reflecting on a quote from Vandana Shiva at #ACFID2022 Conference - "For those who work in the aid sector, we must recognise that we are not the ones giving, but we are receiving - from the earth, local Indigenous cultures, and from the people."

Aaaand that's a wrap! From the ACFID Secretariat, we'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who participated in #ACFID2022 Conference over the last two days, including delegates, speakers, panellists, and MC's. 🧵1/4

Sexual and reproductive health and rights & #ClimateChange are intrinsically linked, and yet the impacts of climate change on SRHR are often hidden & overlooked. Our panel at #ACFID2022 explored the intersection of #SRHR & the #ClimateCrisis.

@jojomaia walks us through the political decisions IWDA has made in reframing how we talk about the world. One example, is using the language of Majority/Minority World rather than Global South/North. Language is important. #ACFID2022 #DecoloniseDevelopment #ShiftThePower @ACFID

Those who have done the most damage to the planet do not feel they have any responsibility to rectify what they have done with guns, with germs and steel…. We have to make real progress at COP27 on loss and damage #ACFID2022 #ClimateActionNow

Things I was not expecting to learn in this mornings opening plenary unpacking indigenous knowledge and connection to country as central to a resilient nation: the heat of sand determines the sex of a turtle 🐢. What. #ACFID2022 #climatejusticenow

“We’ve spent centuries fighting to survive. Indigenous people know where resilience comes from” says Chrissy Warren. Resilience is a form of strength borne out of collective effort. What a way to open this morning #ACFID2022 #ClimateActionNow @AnikaMolesworth @susannelegena

Tuning in to the #ACFID2022 case study on ‘First Nations led foreign policy’ with James Blackwell. ‘We need a First Nation lens on foreign policy in the country first and foremost’ Key priorities include engagement with our people and our rights (consent, self-determination)
