This essay by Bernedette Muthien is based upon remarks given during the April 13, 2020 webinar, “Peace Education and the Pandemic: Global Perspectives.” South Africa’s democracy, carefully negotiated during the early 1990s, culminated in a Constitution founded on intersectionalities, which is just really the coming together of all forms of identities, areas for prejudice and/or privilege. It is the triangulation of Consciousness or Awareness, Compassion and Justice that is helping local communities through the pandemic, and that will sustain us in co-creating a more humane, nonviolent world.
