Recent events ... refugees, trafficking and the run for the cure.

Some of the events i recently joined moved me to think a lot about a number of different problems we face and how important strategy is for dealing with complex issues. At first glance, all are quite different - breast cancer, trafficking in persons and refugee support. But they all showed the need for nonprofit NGO work and for collaboration with other actors as well as the need for the creation of a professionlised civil society sector in Japan.

1. Information dissemination to the public is necessary for the development of support and social mobilization

2. Self-help oriented programs are necessary - providing hand outs alone is not effective.

3. Professional advocacy work needs to happen from local to international levels

4. The people affected need to organize themselves to have an impact and alter the relations of power.
