Education in the Spectrum of Humanitarianism

Pendidikan dalam Spektrum Kemanusiaan-- Anita Lie Students of elementary schools SD Muhammadiyah 6 Gadung Surabaya and SD Katolik Santa Clara play traditional wooden clogs at SD Katolik Santa Clara in Surabaya, East Java, on Thursday (24/5/2018). The activity aimed to unify students with different religion backgrounds in the love for Indonesia and was held as a response to a series of bomb attacks on churches that took place earlier this year.

Nadia Murad was chosen – alongside Denis Mukwege – as the joint winner of the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize. The 25-year-old woman has suffered through unimaginable horrors along with other Yazidi women as sex slaves in Mosul, the largest city under Islamic State (IS) group control.

Long story short, Nadia successfuly escaped the IS’ clutches thanks to a Mosul-based Muslim family. Now, as a human rights activist and United Nations (UN) Goodwill Ambassador for the Dignity of Survivors of Human Trafficking, Nadia devotes her life to ending Yazidi suffering. She said, “The IS wishes to take away our dignity but it is them who lost their dignity as humans.”
