This morning on behalf of the Australian Muslim Women’s Centre for Human Rights (AMCHR), I welcomed a number of faith and community leaders to a roundtable forum to ‘bridge divides’ between sectarian groups. And though stakeholder organisations were present to support this initiative, the dialogue and platform belonged to the communities represented.

Moments like these give pause to consider how much more effectively we progress as a people when we’re spoken to, and not spoken about #mintiemoment, in Darebin.
