Singing for a Healthier World: What Can We Learn from the Global Scrub
Dr. Emma O’Brien, a music therapist at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, transformed the COVID-19 crisis into an opportunity for connection by forming the Global Scrub Choir. Unable to enter rooms, they sang through windows, offering comfort and a reminder of human connection.
Their music became a call for health as a fundamental human right, not a privilege. The choir's message highlights the need to address healthcare inequities exposed by the pandemic, for a healthier, more peaceful world where everyone has access to good health and well-being. #health

    A 1996 UN study revealed, ‘In six out of 12 country studies on sexual exploitation of children in situations of armed conflict prepared for the present report, the arrival of peacekeeping troops has been associated with a rapid rise in child prostitution.’217 - In 2001, UN Peacekeeper Kathryn Bolkovac publicly exposed an elite underage sex trafficking operation in Bosnia involving the UN, US State Department, US Military, and DynCorp International (a global private military contractor funded by the US federal government).218 - In 2017, investigative journalists revealed, 114 UN Peacekeepers ran a child sex ring in Haiti for a decade but were never imprisoned.

    Why are the other genocides committed by the Bosnian Muslims against the Christians not mentioned?! There were hundreds of genocides committed in the war in Yugoslavia and the alleged genocide in Srebrenica is just one of many. But, it seems that this is a political propaganda behind which stands USA, a country that has murdered millions of Indians. It is time to disband the United Nations which has become a fascist organization doing the business of American regime. .
