Description

In an explosive reaction to the BBC documentary on the United Nations Whistleblowers, Lauren and Teia let their feelings be known about how the United Nations has continued to abuse its power with some of the most vulnerable people in the world suffering as a result. It cuts deep. We work in a sector that is meant to help people and yet the United Nations has created a safe space for abusers to thrive. Lauren and Teia are left asking where the accountability is and how you begin dismantling such a powerful institution?CALL TO ACTION: Please share this documentary far and wide, everybody need's to see this.

Teia and Lauren have worked in the humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding fields for...long enough. Now they’re travelling around in a campervan, on a journey to understand what organisational transformation does, and could, look like. Join them each week as they discuss their non-profit experience and invite guests from across different sectors to pull back the curtain on how organisations function (or not) and understand what can be done on an organisational and individual level to address complex social issues. Are you ready? Are you sure? It might sting. Get Premium Content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
