When the Taliban seized power, Mahjabin Khanzada’s life changed overnight. As a translator for the U.S. embassy, she narrowly escaped, but her parents were left behind. Since 2021, she has endured profound hardship, yet she has emerged as a fierce advocate for Afghan women’s rights and a dedicated force within Project Anar, helping refugees rebuild their lives. Now, as crucial funding for refugee programs faces devastating cuts, her work is more urgent than ever. She shares her story as a reminder that Afghan women and refugees are still fighting for their futures—and the world cannot look away.

MRS ROBINSON tells Mary’s story, in her own words, for the very first time - illuminating battles for justice and equality over half a century; on the streets, in the courts, at the ballot box, and in backroom corridors of power. 

A reforming constitutional lawyer and senator in her early career, Mary Robinson detonated an electoral earthquake by winning the Irish Presidential vote in 1990. Later, as a crusading UN High Commissioner, she built a lasting legacy; fearlessly challenging perpetrators of human rights abuses all over the world.To this day, she exerts power and leadership as the Chair of The Elders; the independent group of global leaders (founded by Nelson Mandela) who work for peace, justice and human rights.

MRS ROBINSON was directed by Aoife Kelleher and produced by Cormac Hargaden and Trisha Canning for Loosehorse. Executive Producers on the film include Pat Mitchell (co-founder of Project Dandelion), Geralyn Dreyfous, Lyn Lear, Regina K. Scully, Ruth Ann Harnisch and Melony Lewis. The film was funded by Fís Éireann /Screen Ireland and the Fiscal Sponsorship programme of the Utah Film Center.

From Chaos to Regeneration - Our World in Crisis 1,115 views  Mar 23, 2024  

Life on our planet is under attack.  False solutions mask the real questions - How will we grow our food, what kind of economy do we really need, and how can we stop the expansion of fossil fuels?  To counter the dominant patriarchal culture, whose exploitation of nature and of other cultures, and particularly of women,  climate justice groups are raising their voices and taking action to protect #Biodiversity, the health of their ecosystems, and the #RightsOfNature.  

#OspreyOrielleLake, founder and executive director of the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network, discusses her new book, The Story is in Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis with host, Dale Walkonen.

"As we head into COP26, please know, we are not willing to die or sacrifice future generations for truly pitiful reasons of corporate greed and political power and hubris. Rather we are willing to fight to use our imaginations, to be alive, to thrive, to be courageous, to be uncomfortable for positive changes, to be bold, and to win. We are willing to endlessly fight for policies that prioritize social, racial and economic justice, and Indigenous and human rights."

Our communities and the planet are out of time, we need climate justice now! On October 26, Osprey Orielle Lake, WECAN Executive Director spoke out to world governments at an urgent one-day High-level Thematic Debate entitled “Delivering Climate Action: for People, Planet & Prosperity” at the UN Headquarters in New York. The event was hosted by the UN President of the General Assembly to call for hope and ambition in the lead up to COP26.
Osprey made it clear in her intervention today: No more sacrifice people, no more sacrifice zones. She spoke to world governments asking: Where are the government leaders willing to stand up to the fossil fuel industry? And, where is the $100 billion a year promised from wealthy countries so we can move toward a just transition? We can move billions once we claim a global climate emergency — and pulling from military budgets is a good place to begin.

Right now, current country commitments bring global warming to 2.7 degrees Celsius, far past the 1.5 degree target laid out in the Paris Climate Agreement. Osprey called for an end to false solutions and presented our Call to Action that was recently delivered to governments during the UNGA by Global Women’s Assembly for Climate Justice. It is a call to action from women and feminist around the world representing millions of people outlining in explicit detail what can be done to meet the 1.5 degree target with already existing climate justice frameworks.

Many thanks to Abdulla Shahid, President of the UN General Assembly from the Maldives, for inviting Osprey to speak today and for uplifting the urgency of this moment.
