@KathleenDBrody @zkiana3 @AKayumAhmed1 This is an interesting point, and I agree that privilege plays a large and influential role in shaping views of some as "martyrs" and presents implications for oppressive acts #P8607

@AKayumAhmed1 Global health institutions will need to give up power in the process of decolonization and to address a system involving racism, oppression, and inequalities. The act of (not) giving up this power and addressing a broken system may involve violence due to various factors #P8607

@hallie_cronin @AKayumAhmed1 I like this idea, as having the opportunity to engage in the arts and music during therapy will definitely provide benefits and improve outcomes for these populations #P8607

[Brendan @bb3049mailman]

@AKayumAhmed1 Utilizing different forms of the arts allows for one’s advocacy project to appeal to a larger audience. If more and more people are noticing the project, then health as a human right will continue to be emphasized and discussed #P8607

@langaigne_aa @AKayumAhmed1 @Columbia @usnews @nytimes I also agree, especially with your point about Columbia reinstating COVID-19 self testing for all students. Given that the pandemic is not over, this is the bare minimum that the University can do to support students and promote their health and well-being #P8607

[Brendan @bb3049mailman]

@AKayumAhmed1 @Columbia @usnews @nytimes Students can call for action by the University on health-related rights that haven’t been sufficiently addressed but continue to impact well-being and quality-of-life such as those relating to sexual and reproductive rights and the health needs of LGBTQ+ people #P8607

@AKayumAhmed1 The advocacy strategies will reflect the perspectives of human rights as innate (natural) and working to promote justice for everyone (protest). They will work toward structural and/or cultural change to ensure that people are able to maintain their health and wellbeing #P8607

[Brendan @bb3049mailman]

@EricaMunson3 @MindyTran90 @AKayumAhmed1 I agree as well. Natural scholars and protest scholars working together will likely encourage the development of effective and impactful advocacy strategies, especially given the protests scholars' drive to continuously fight for the human rights of everyone #P8607
