Danish freelance sociologist/researcher/activist - her heart with the daily struggle of (poor) men and women of Africa, Ugandans in particular

Vi ved det godt nu. Også i Vesten. At den verdensorden, der har hersket efter Anden verdenskrig er i opløsning. Ingen ved, hvad der kommer bagefter. Dét er skræmmende, især for mange herhjemme og i andre dele af det privilegerede Vesten. Men se mod Syd -

“Oprustning og overdreven militærproduktion er ingen garanti for fred men tager ressourcer fra bekæmpelsen af ulighed og klimaforandringerne – alt det, der er hele grundlaget for vores sikkerhed”

Jeg har en kronik i Politiken -

@asiimwe4justice Such a nice walktalkconnect 😘

[Jacqueline Asiimwe @asiimwe4justice]

She recalls that our first encounter around 1999, when she was consulting for MS Uganda. During this time, she interviewed me about the involvement of women’s rights activists in the Maputo Protocol (The Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa).

A few years later, @suspossing returned to Uganda to live and work, eventually heading back to Denmark six years afterward. During her stay, we connected through our shared efforts in civil society. Given my legal background, we also collaborated when she sought advice on various legal issues concerning some of the people she served.

Today, it was a joy to reconnect and celebrate her new book about her experiences in Uganda. The primary aim in writing was to challenge the prejudices, stereotypes, and misinformation that many Western Europeans hold about Africa.

Through dialogue and by centering the individuals and processes she encountered, she illustrates the intricate and nuanced ways of life in Africa. She emphasizes what she refers to as ‘feminine Ubuntu’, highlighting how Ugandan women, despite facing numerous hardships and exclusions, exemplify care and resilience. They ensure that elders receive support, children have access to education, and they engage in substantial community work. In many African communities, the strength and generosity of women form the backbone.

Susanne and I concluded that our missions align: we both strive to shed light on the everyday lives of those who often go overlooked, yet accomplish so much with so little.

May we continually challenge ourselves to recognize the unseen through fresh perspectives, viewing individuals not as subjects of charity but as active agents in their own lives.

NEJ til Oprustning - JA til Bæredygtig Sikkerhedspolitik i Politiken og Jyllands-Posten i anledning af, at den danske regering i hemmelighed har indgået en aftale med USA om at oprette militære baser i Danmark. Folketinget skal tage stilling i marts. Det bør blive nej til aftalen

My reaction when I heard of the freeze on foreign aid by the US? Shock.
@UNAIDS estimates that a removal of US support for the HIV response would result in an additional 6.3 million deaths.
But this is an opportunity to move faster towards self-sufficiency. #EndAIDS2030

@DKinUganda Can you do something, please?

Vi har set nærmere på regeringens nye Afrikastrategi -

"Strategien siger, vi skal blive bedre til at lytte. Men er man faktisk villig til at tilstå Afrika en afgørende rolle? Og vil vi i det rige nord erkende vores gæld og afhængighed?" #dkpol

Jeg taler med de to værter på @DR P1 Kulturen om, hvad der mon er på færde i regeringens nye #Afrikastrategi #dkpol #dkaid #sikkerhedspolitik
Hvad vil det sige at 'vi' skal lytte mere, som udenrigsminister Lars Løkke Rasmussen siger, vi skal? Og til hvem?https://t.co/lkJzUeYB6D

Jeg anmelder Emma Holten - Er det tid at gøre op med den økonomiske systemtvang og begynde at prøve af, hvordan vi kan lade omsorgen for hinanden styre kravene til, hvordan vi organiserer os som økonomi og som samfund? #dkpol #emmaholten https://t.co/o8SPkghgIX
