Weaving Hopes for the Future

Weaving Hopes for the Future present to you the trailer to our short documentaries which will be screened throughout the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference #COP26 It explores the connection between Indigenous land rights in Malaysia & the climate crisis. #KrisisIklim

Our research shows 93% of countries on the front line of climate disasters are also either in debt distress or at significant risk of a debt crisis. They are drowning in debt and are being forced to pay back old loans instead of prioritising the needs of their people. 🧵1/4

Team @WeavingHopes re-convenes in Rompin to prepare for mapping & documentation of Loss and Damage 🌧 I am deeply in awe of the Indigenous youths still resisting and fighting for Indigenous Sovereignty despite the structural racism set to intimidate them. #ClimateEmergency

We were grateful to receive testimony from @WeavingHopes , exploring how the climate crisis and deforestation impact indigenous women in Malaysia. Weaving hopes of the future: Women and the forests submitted by Aroe Ajoeni of Klima Action Malaysia... youtu.be/xH8lKIJya3w?li…

Hi all! Earlier, our team was setting up the space. Intermedia Gallery at @CCA_Glasgow is a bright space! Come see this Indigenous art piece that tells a story about loss and hope! Credit: @syafiqahsobrii Team: Fathiah, Syafiqah, Qin Rong and Darshana. ♥️♥️

Ready !

Thanks @RajeevGuptaBBC @bbcworldservice for featuring me alongside these line up of great activists. I spoke a bit about the @WeavingHopes project and climate injustice towards the most vulnerable people. #COP26 #KeadilanIklim

Thank you @meligysCNA ! Watch this clip as we hear from @GlobalJusticeUK @KlimaAction @YACAPhilippines @Seruni_ID on why we march on the streets, why @COP26 has failed, why Global South States must be united to hold the Global North accountable ! #PayUp4LossandDamage

Sharing between the Glasgow team and Indigenous team reveals that most people who came to the exhibition was shocked to see the unique art piece, and the story it tells. Most of them have never heard about Indigenous People of Peninsula Malaysia. Kak Hanim was beaming proudly !

Call in from our team in Glasgow during the climate march #COP26GDA Syafiqah dan Fathiah. Thank you, stay safe, and march on !

Norifa speaks about why Indigenous women must reclaim their spaces, and voice out so they can seek justice, finance, and capacity building needed for them to thrive. Indigenous women are already community leaders, so why can't they be given the same chances in policy making ?

As the first Orang Asli to work in SUHAKAM, Azian experienced that Orang Asli is far knowledgeable in safeguarding the forest and ecosystems than the suggestions made by developers. Hence, their role in decision making must be centered ! Top down decision making must take heed !
