Winnipeg Baha'i community marks 40th anniversary of execution of 10 Iranian women | CBC News #OurStoryIsOne cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

The #OurStoryIsOne campaign commemorates the execution of 10 Baha’i women and brings together Iranians of all faiths and backgrounds who are standing up for justice as they have all faced similar battles in their path towards equality.

Today marks 40 years since 10 Bahá'í women were hanged for refusing to renounce their beliefs in a faith that promotes the principles of gender equality. Join the two-hour event starting at 5:30 GMT tonight by posting using #OurStoryIsOne

The story of the 10 Women of Shiraz continues to echo today in the efforts of Iranian women who, like the 10 women, make sacrifices in the path of gender equality. Join us in Winnipeg on Friday the 23rd to honour their story #OurStoryIsOne #Iran #Bahai #humanrights

We are excited to announce this year’s #SydneyPeacePrize recipient @NazaninBoniadi – a powerful voice supporting Iranian women and their #WomanLifeFreedom movement @AmnestyUK @cityofsydney @Sydney_Uni

Interesting piece by my @UMArtsFaculty colleague @ecaduc on language, legitimacy, and changing colonial street names in Winnipeg - and why there is some resistance to new Indigenous names but also why there shouldn't be, from a linguistic perspective: theconversation.com/winnipeg-propo…

I wrote about how 174 papers on nature and well-being were overwhelmingly focused on WEIRD people, aka Western-Educated-Industrialized-Rich-Democratic. It doesn't mean these studies are wrong, but they probably don't capture cultural variations. vice.com/en/article/pkp…

“It can seem like, ‘Oh, a few trolls are saying dumb things on the internet, but denialism is very appealing,” said Sean Carleton, a University of Manitoba professor in Indigenous studies. “Its objective is to keep in place the colonial status quo.” vice.com/en/article/jgm…

Happy to share this story I collaborated on with family about cancer experiences and the wellness journal. Great guidance and inspiration also from @SuzanneKovenMD and the @MediaandMed program! Devastatingly beautiful cmaj.ca/content/194/14…

For many people, religion is a way of life and their leaders can be a trusted resource for health information. How can doctors and scientists work with faith based groups to benefit public health? @andrew_hatala @MCPanthro @richardthandley @tara_Vijayan bmj.com/content/376/bm…

As we continue to work on managing covid-19, the ability for multisectoral partnerships and faith based dialogue to have a positive role during the pandemic has been underestimated, argue @andrew_hatala @MCPanthro @richardthandley @tara_Vijayan bmj.com/content/376/bm…
