Produktinformationen zu „Breaking the Boundaries (ePub)“
What makes an activist? What makes one person speak out against injustice while another will be content to get angry at the TV news? What makes the activist so determined to make her or his voice heard, often against powerful odds? This book looks for answers in the personal stories of 46 Australians, young and old, fighting to be heard in a range of areas including human rights, gender issues, and the environment. "Being an activist is about being more than yourself. It is about creating a better world." - Khadija Gbla, cross-cultural activist. "In my time as an activist, I have learned two main things: do what you are able to do, and never lose heart." - Julian Burnside, barrister, human rights and refugee advocate, and author. "Words have been my principle weapon of choice." - Anne Layton-Bennett, environmental activist. "We know instinctively if something is unfair or wrong. The greatest challenge is how to change that idea into the courage, passion and wisdom that enables us to act to make a change for the better." - Jim Douglas, community activist
Autoren-Porträt
Yvonne Allen has a background in education and information services. Her activism began with opposition to the Vietnam War and the rise of the Women's Liberation Movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s. She was the first coordinator of Adelaide's Women's Studies Resource Centre in 1975, and was involved in the women's health movement. Now retired from the paid workforce, she works with the Kaurna people in her local community and is convenor of a small Adelaide-based NGO working in western Myanmar (Burma), India and Malaysia to improve health outcomes, particularly in relation to HIV/AIDS, and support education for refugee children.
