Our Marama Pacifika Guttenbeil Likiliki-Likiliki Director Women and Children Crisis Centre Tonga is in the House at #ACC2022 presenting the #2022MitchellOration 'Enough is enough: audaciously decolonizing the development and humanitarian nexus' Malo Sistah & Vinaka Vakalevu
.Guttenbeil Likiliki standing in her power. Being vulnerable and so very real. The influx of white-led GBVIE after weeks of WCCC response sent the message that local knowledge was inferior. Are you hearing this, devel sector? Are you ready to do differently? #AAC2022 #decoloniseaid
.Guttenbeil Likiliki demanding supportive, decolonised relationships in a moving address. We risk undermining and losing the real leaders, like Ofa, if we don't listen. There's too much on the line. #AAC2022
Question about how to strengthen cross country feminist movements? Start from the local understanding of feminism, which might look different to western understanding, but the root is the same. Build up movements from the grassroots. Guttenbeil Likiliki #AAC2022
Such powerful words from Guttenbeil Likiliki, Director of WCCC Tonga. đ The urgency of decolonising humanitarian aid and development was reinforced by Ofa emphasising the importance to shift from âpower to not power over.â #AAC2022
Jo Pradela Alice Ridge Terence Wood Guttenbeil Likiliki I have a heavy bias towards this team as well also because of my own views on the impact of geopolitics haha. But a great line up on both sides! #AAC2022
#AAC2022 kicks off day 2 with some amazing talent in a Great Debate on âGeopolitical competition is good for aid.â Affirmative: Ben Day Bridi Rice Henry Ivarature Negative: Alice Ridge Terence Wood Guttenbeil Likiliki Chaired by Stephen Dziedzic
Repeat after me: geopolitics is not a dirty word BUT it has done dirty things. Guttenbeil Likiliki examples: the terms given to Tonga to join WTO; denial of self-determination as a gender priority by donors; the NZ dawn raids; conditions and rights of Pacific laborers in Aus #AAC2022
Now to Guttenbeil Likiliki who tackles Benâs mantra. âGeopolitics is not a dirty word. But. It has done dirty things.â âYeah aid is good for the Pacific,â but the power imbalance is detrimental. Are we looking after seasonal workers? Consulting local leaders? Not so much.

Legendary Iâiga Pisa (born 1882) was 1 of several matai who were exiled by the Germans in 1909 due to their adherence to the Mau a Pule movement for Samoan independence. I'iga was the only one of the exiled matai still living when Samoa gained independence thecoconet.tv/know-your-rootâŠ
