Shamila and Niveditha interview Hala Abdelnour, CEO and Founder of the Institute of non-violence (IoNV) and expert practitioner in the field of gendered violence and anti-racism.

In commemoration of International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination #IDERD, we compare notes on growing up Arab and Indian in Australia, racism and belonging, and what we can learn from First Nations people about how to shape an Australian identity characterised by pluralism and interconnectedness instead of dominance and exclusion.

Part 2 out next week.

We invite you all to listen to this conversation and share with your networks.
