Abstract
The world is once again going through immense change and disruption: from the global pandemic and the disproportionate impact on poorer nations and classes to the murder of George Floyd and the return to prominence of the fight for racial equality; from the urgent fight for the rights of women highlighted by the reversal of Roe vs Wade in the US, the recent killings of Mahsa Amini and many more children, women, and men by the theocracy in Iran, and the young women recently denied access to their universities in Afghanistan to the World Cup highlighting the alarming lack of LGBTQ + rights and shocking labour practices towards migrant workers in some regions; and UNICEF announcing that 1 in 10 children worldwide continue to be denied basic rights due to disabilities (UNICEF, 2021). These snapshots from the past few years indicate just some of the landmarks within a much bigger problem of marginalisation and give us a glimpse of the ongoing fights for the rights of us all within the varying intersectional systems of oppression (patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalism, etc.). These flashpoints show just how much we are moulded by the socio-political as much as the psychological.
世界正在再次经历巨大的变化和破坏:从全球大流行病及其对较贫穷国家和阶级的不成比例的影响,到乔治·弗洛伊德被谋杀以及争取种族平等的斗争重新受到重视;从以美国“罗伊诉韦德案”(Roe vs Wade)的逆转为标志的争取妇女权利的紧急斗争,到最近伊朗神权政权杀害马赫萨·阿米尼(Mahsa Amini)和更多儿童、妇女和男子,以及最近在阿富汗被拒绝进入大学观看世界杯的年轻女性,突显了LGBTQ +权利的惊人缺乏,以及一些地区针对移民工人的令人震惊的劳工做法;联合国儿童基金会宣布,全球十分之一的儿童仍因残疾而被剥夺基本权利(联合国儿童基金会,2021年)。这些来自过去几年的快照只是在更大的边缘化问题中的一些里程碑,并让我们瞥见在各种交叉压迫系统(父权制,白人至上主义,资本主义等)中为我们所有人的权利而进行的斗争。这些闪光点表明,我们在多大程度上受到社会政治因素和心理因素的影响。
