The Cities Defending Human Rights project has brought two activists to Rubí who have shared their experiences in talks aimed at local high school students. The city, part of this network since 2018, works to promote human rights through education.
On Monday, Nontokozo Sedibe-Sabic, an activist, mediator, and community leader born during apartheid in South Africa, explained her journey at the Official School of Languages in Rubí. Founder of the Ubuntu co-create association, she dedicates her work to adapting indigenous knowledge to modernity to combat racism.
On Wednesday, Sahrawi journalist and artist Asria Mohamed delivered the talk ‘The Sahrawi Resistance, 50 Years of History, and a Feminist Perspective’ as part of the University Extension Classroom (AEU) in Rubí. Born in the Sahrawi refugee camps in Algeria, she currently resides in Oslo (Norway) and advocates for the Sahrawi cause through conferences and her podcast.
Asria Mohamed also spearheads the art and narrative project on human rights called Jaimitna, complementing her outreach work through the Norwegian Committee for Support to Western Sahara.
