#關心阿富汗婦女處境 #我已寫信給聯合國請求給予協助 蔡英文總統說：「自己不作為，只依賴別人保護，不是我們的選項」，沒錯，台灣人的團結意識、對民主人權的堅定信念，是守護台灣不可或缺的力量，也是使台灣被國際認可的原因！但是國民黨部分親中份子正在挑撥台灣和盟友的互信、影響國際對台灣的信心，令人感到憤怒。 同時，我也希望大家可以關心阿富汗女性目前處境，應該很多人已經注意到媒體報導，當塔利班佔領喀布爾後女性的生活一夕間風雲變色，不僅工作權、教育權被剝奪，甚至發生多起強娶少女，幾乎淪為娼奴的悲劇。過去塔利班對婦女的暴力歷史猶未遠矣，如今那段夢魘般的日子又成為現實！ 以目前的情況來看，能幫助阿富汗女性的時間真的所剩不多，針對這點，我已經寫信給聯合國秘書長，希望聯合國能給予她們協助，雖然不知道一封信能否起什麼作用，但是我還是堅信，只要有機會能為正身處煉獄的阿富汗婦女爭取一絲絲保護她們的權利，我就得努力試試！ “Don’t accept good things from bad people.” 這是曾被塔利班槍擊的諾貝爾和平獎得主馬拉拉所說的話，看看阿富汗婦女過去爭取來的人權竟在一夕間被剝奪，就可以知道擁抱威權的後果是多麽可怕，因此台灣的民主與人權絕對不能走回頭路，台灣人也不會對威權有絲毫的妥協，我們要做的就是保持團結、堅守價值，讓自己變得更強大。 以下附上寄給聯合國的信件原文： Dear Mr Guterres: After the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan, an Afghan girl cried to the camera in despair and fear: “We don't count because we're from Afghanistan... No one cares about us, We'll die slowly in history” This video makes me feel distressed as a woman, and I believe anyone can feel her helplessness! At present, the international community, including Taiwan, is very worried about the situation of women in Afghanistan! Although the Taliban spokesperson announced at the press conference that women will be treated equally. Judging from the current situation after the transfer of the Afghan regime and the record of persecution of women during the Taliban rule from 1996 to 2001, I have difficulties believing Afghanistan women will be treated equally according to their human rights. Therefore, as a global citizen and a woman, I sincerely request the United Nations to provide humanitarian assistance to Afghan women with substantive actions, such as providing shelters, so that Afghan women could have their due human rights, and live free from the shadow of violence and abuse all the time. I look forward to hearing from you！ Sincerely Hsu Shu-Hua,Taiwan, Taipei city Councilor

Being a PR practitioner, it was an honour for me to emcee the ceremony and also to moderate the press conference with top notch industry leaders including the YB Minister of Agriculture & Food Industries, Datuk Seri Dr. Ronald Kiandee during the MoU signing ceremony between Agrobank and Malaysian Technology Development Corporation (MTDC). This collaboration aims to promote entrepreneur’s development programme and further inculcate the industry 4.0 technology (i4.0) practices into the Malaysian agriculture sector. In this collaboration, Agrobank will provide financial funding of RM20 million for about 200 entrepreneurs across Malaysia related to agriculture sector identified by MTDC for the first phase of the entrepreneur’s development programme initiative. Each entrepreneur will receive funding amount of RM100,000 maximum. I must say that it was a substantive event to the agriculture industry. #AboyAtWork #CommsPeople #Happiness #LifeIsGood

I posted a a black box last week , it felt more symbolic and less substantive. Just because we can’t be there physically doesn’t mean we can’t support what’s going at home from abroad. If your able please donate to organizations that keep the long fight for justice alive. There are some links on the third page I recommend taking a look at. #blacklivesmatter #blm #8cantwait
