Tomorrow, on November 16th, we celebrate International Day for Tolerance. Tolerance is neither indulgence nor indifference. It is respect and appreciation of the rich variety of our world's cultures, our forms of expression and ways of being human. Our recent research on ‘Culturally Competency in UK Responses to Modern Slavery’ found how diverse cultural backgrounds can impact vulnerability and exploitation and crucially how cultural competency may improve the effectiveness of support provision and responses to exploitation risk. Culture is individual, dynamic and ever-changing. By educating staff with cultural awareness principles and why it is important for staff to being open to our differences and having a nonjudgmental approach will ensure services and organisations are inclusive and effective. At Shiva Foundation, we empower organizations to build ethical, sustainable, and resilient operations. #internationaldayfortolerance
