Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) is saddened to hear that Fr Stan Swamy SJ passed away last July 5. For over 50 years, he worked tirelessly for poor and marginalized communities of India, especially its Indigenous people/Adivasis. Fr Stan fought for the recognition of the rights of the Adivasis, documenting the abuse of power against Indigenous youth and those falsely imprisoned for defending their rights.⠀ .⠀ For the last 9 months, Fr Stan was incarcerated based on unsubstantiated charges of links to Maoist/terrorist forces. He suffered from Parkinson’s disease and his health continued to deteriorate while in prison. In spite of his health challenges, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) special sessions court refused to grant him bail.⠀ .⠀ Fr Stan only wanted to be with the people he served. During a bail hearing in May, he declared this desire to the court: “I may suffer, perhaps even die very soon if the deterioration of my condition continues. But whatever happens I want to be able to be among my people.”⠀ .⠀ He was finally transferred to a hospital after contracting COVID-19.⠀ .⠀ Fr Stan’s life and death has inspired a new generation of advocates who continue to fight for truth and justice. These are men and women emboldened by the strength and courage Fr Stan showed. They will stand up for the truth, fight for the marginalized and will continue to dedicate their lives in the pursuit of a just and equal society.⠀ .⠀ As we commemorate the life of Fr Stan, let us not forget the 15 other human rights defenders who have been detained for the same reason as Fr Stan and continue to languish in prison while waiting for justice to be served.⠀ .⠀ Thank you, Fr Stan, for inspiring us all.⠀ ⠀ #RIPStan #Jesuits

We invite you to attend our webinar, Leave no one behind: Vaccine equity in the Global South. June 15 at 11:30 am - 1:00 pm ET.⠀ ⠀ This will be a discussion on the barriers to access COVID-19 vaccines for the world’s poorest people with internationally renowned speakers Fr Charles Chilufya SJ, Dr Sunita Narain, Dr Katrina Plamondon and Dr Jeffrey Sachs. COVID-19 has revealed the inequalities between the Global North and the Global South with only 0.1% of people in low-income countries vaccinated. Canadian Jesuits International supports the global campaign for vaccine equity through a waiver of certain provisions of the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement at the World Trade Organization (WTO)⠀ ⠀ To register, click on the link on our profile or visit canadianjesuitsinternational.ca/vaccine-equity ⠀ ⠀ #vaccineequity #equalityforall #vaccineaccessforall

#Repost @dsouzaninette ・・・ Dear friends/followers, you know that I rarely post on Instagram. However, the enormity of the latest wave of COVID-19 in India has prompted me to post in recent days including today's post. I have been privileged to be involved with Canadian Jesuits International over the last several years. They work with Jesuits and partner organizations in the Global South to further social justice and dignity. They have had extensive involvement with Jesuit work in India over many years. They have just launched an emergency COVID-19 appeal focussed on India to work with their Jesuit partners to continue to accompany marginalized people, even during this time of great peril. There is a severe shortage of medical equipment, hygiene items, and basic food provisions. To learn more about Canadian Jesuit International's latest appeal and their partners in India, please visit: https://www.canadianjesuitsinternational.ca/covid-19-emergency-appeal-the-second-wave-in-india/ @canadianjesuitsinternational #covidindia #indiancatholicsincanada #goancatholicsincanada #indiancatholicsincanada #jesuits
