6 Areas of Inequality

We have separated the issues of oppression and inequality that we want to shed light on into 6 categories. Although these issues are complex, broad and hard to define, we hope to make the educational process simpler by these categorizations. On our website you will find information about the following:

  1. Education
  2. Healthcare
  3. Domestic Inequality
  4. Economic Discrimination
  5. Conflict
  6. Human Trafficking

A word on International Justice Mission and their holistic, loving and effective approach to justice. 🌿 @ijm . After 20 years on the frontlines of anti-slavery work, 47,000 people who have been freed from slavery because of International Justice Mission. . International Justice Mission is by far doing the most effective anti-slavery work in the world today. Work so effective, that in many cities they employ their approach to justice, after some years of rescues, rehabilitation for survivors, justice brought against traffickers and working to involve and subsequently reform local law enforcement, IJM packs up and leaves because trafficking has decreased up to 85% and local law enforcement has proven themselves to be capable of keeping it down. It is incredible. If you want to feel inspired, head over to IJM Rescue Stories to read their stories of freedom and redemption! . We at Acacia applaud their work, particularly as it relates to women. Many female survivors rescued by IJM are not only free, but are healing, working and thriving. IJM truly employs a holistic, loving and effective approach to justice. . If you’re reading this and would like to offer your support to IJM, than there are lots of opportunities! Here’s a couple to start with... . 🌿Donate individually, or fundraise with a group and see how far your money can go. For example, $180 provides healthcare for a victim of sexual assault and $6,300 pays for a slavery rescue operation. 🌿Become a monthly Freedom Partner for a minimum donation of $24/month which goes directly to the rescue and rehabilitation of slaves. . You can learn more about their work at www.ijm.ca
Happy #AcaciaWomenWednesday 🌿 This week meet Dolores Huerta! Passionate, bold, persistent, and also once described as a “tiny, tough assistant,” Dolores Huerta is a wonderful example of an Acacia Woman. She worked tirelessly to advance women and give them a voice. She has spent much of her life working to protect the rights of minorities and their working rights. Her legacy and attitude is a strong example to other women about the possibilities and the power that we can have when we stand up for what we believe in. Read the rest of her story on the Acacia Journal. ❤️

This year 12,000,000 girls will be married before their 18th birthday. Most of these girls will be forced to drop out of school and are likely to experience domestic violence and face an increased risk of dangerous or deadly child-birthing experiences. To learn more about Child Marriage and what steps you can take to end it, visit the Acacia Journal on acaciamovement.com 🌿
This week @preemptivelove issued a statement encouraging people to believe Women. We want to echo this statement, especially right now. Believe Women. Believe them when they share hard stories, when they open themselves up to ridicule and disbelief, when they dig up trauma and expose it to the world. Believe them. No women should have to face sexual violence, and even further, no women should be shamed when she truthfully speaks up. With love, Acacia Team 🌿 #believewomen
Happy #AcaciaWomenWednesday ❤ This week meet Corrie ten Boom, an inspiring woman who, along with her family, risked her life to hide Jewish people in her home during WWII. After being betrayed by an informant and sent to a concentration camp where her whole family was killed, Corrie went on to be released from camp due to a clerical error and started homes in Germany and Holland where concentration camp survivors and also those who helped the Germans could come and live to heal, rehabilitate and find loving community.
