UN Presentation

Last month, your host, Fumi, was invited by the United Nations (UN) in Geneva to speak before the Group of Independent Eminent Experts on the Implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (DDPA), one of the UN's most powerful moral compasses for addressing racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and related intolerance.

In this 60th episode, listen to Fumi's presentation at the UN - she relied on the stories and reflections from #OUR_racism to create her presentation.

You can find the full presentation at bit.ly/4jqFpRY (Fumi is the third speaker, and she also gives a final statement at the very end). 

The presentation is available in the official languages of the UN - Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish – via simultaneous interpretation.

About the Podcast

#OUR_racism
#OUR_
A podcast that explores the various manifestations of racism around the world through personal stories and reflections on lived experiences. A podcast that makes us all aware of the subconscious biases we hold against others as a result of living in a racialised society. A podcast that can teach us what the first steps of 'being anti-racist' truly means.

Note:
Everything you hear is first and foremost our subjective opinions, feelings and interpretations. If there is anything you may find confounding, surprising, or even wrong, reach out to us - this is a platform for a joint learning exploration, not a strive for a definite and absolute answer.

Transcripts of each episode available in English, French, German and Italian at www.ourcontexts.org
