On the International Day of Indigenous Women and Girls, Qur’an 33:35 offers a specific Islamic reflection: believing women and men are named together in faith, character, worship, and reward. It is not a substitute for listening to the distinct histories, cultures, and concerns of Indigenous women themselves.

It’s in the Blood

In 1539, a fugitive former-priest-turned-Anabaptist, in his seminal work “The Foundation,” penned the following words:

“Christ is our fortress; patience our weapon of defense; the Word of God our sword. …Iron and metal spears and swords we leave to those who, alas, regard human blood and swine’s blood of well-nigh equal value.”

So said Menno Simons, principal leader of the Protestant sect which then became known as the Mennonites.

More than 500 years later, his words still resound with a mighty truth.

At the risk of sounding morbid, it has to do with blood.

While Menno specifically refers to the difference between human blood and that of an animal, his larger point is the “value” we place on the blood of another.

My point is quite simple.

Killing will not end through education, conflict resolution, or disarmament, though all of these are important and can help. Killing will end only when there is a fundamental shift in the mind and heart of those who kill.

For how can you kill someone if you believe that their blood is just as valuable as your own?

Let’s call it – for lack of a better term – bloodism.

The other – their humanity, life, blood – is somehow less than I, and therefore, their humanity, life, blood, is not as valuable as my own. It becomes quite easy then to justify killing the other, ie. spilling his/her blood.

The directors of death throughout history from every nation, tribe and religion have understood and disseminated this concept quite well. A person (and those like him/her) is described as having the wrong beliefs, the wrong skin color, the wrong gender, the wrong age, the wrong station in life, the wrong land, the wrong possessions, the wrong clothing, the wrong language —- the wrong blood. These others are not as valued as you are, the leaders of the macabre scream, though they couch their speech in terms such as vigilance, freedom, history, security, and truth.

Then the killing begins.

The Nazis did it to the Jews. Israelis do it to the Palestinians. Hutus did it to the Tutsis. Shiite do it to the Sunni. Palestinians do it to the Israelis. Sunni do it to the Shiite. Muslims do it to the Christians. Christians do it to the Muslims. This country does it to that country. That neighborhood does it to this neighborhood. This race does it to that race. That religion does it to this religion.

And any one of a million other combinations.

STOP!

Do not allow your mind and heart to be filled with bloodism.

We are made in the image of God.

ALL of us.

And that divine DNA resides in the very marrow of our bones and flows through our veins.

It’s in the blood.

Broken Chair

I rescued the chair from outside someone’s apartment with the hope of fixing it and having it become a welcome member of our family.

But, as often happens, it sat around in various places waiting for me to find the time to repair it.

Finally, I decided it was one more project I did not have time for, and so yesterday I put it out on the sidewalk in the hopes that someone would take it home.

It sat out there all through yesterday in the rain and the sun, lonely, awaiting a new friend. A few people paused to look but then drove away. Periodically I would look out my window to see it still sitting forlornly there.

Then this morning I noticed an older gentleman walking past who began to inspect the chair. He picked it up, put it on his back and walked away.

It is a beautiful chair. It just needs to be repaired, and I am sure its new owner will do just that.

I don’t know about you, but I feel a lot like that broken chair, waiting for the gentle hands of someone to put me back together again.

I wait, broken, with the hope that those hands will touch me, I will be healed, and I can have a purpose again.

If Acts Happened Today, Would We Call It Communism?

For many, "communism" has become less a political philosophy and more a conversation stopper. But is every effort to use our shared resources to care for the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable really communism? This article examines the difference between political labels and biblical principles, comparing the teachings of the early Church with today's political rhetoric.

World Day Against Child Labour 2026

Lo scorso anno, su Perfettamente Chic, abbiamo approfondito il significato della Giornata Mondiale contro il Lavoro Minorile e le sfide ancora aperte nella tutela dei più piccoli. Se vi siete persi l’articolo, potete leggerlo qui:

https://perfettamentechic.com/2025/06/12/giornata-mondiale-contro-il-lavoro-minorile/

Anche nel 2026, oggi, il 12 giugno torna la World Day Against Child Labour, promossa dall’International Labour Organization, con un messaggio forte e immediato: “Red Card to Child Labour: Fair Play for Children, Decent Work for Adults”. In altre parole? Un vero e proprio cartellino rosso contro lo sfruttamento dei bambini.

La scelta del linguaggio sportivo non è casuale. Nel 2026 la campagna internazionale invita governi, aziende e cittadini a “espellere” il lavoro minorile dal campo di gioco della società, garantendo ai bambini ciò che dovrebbe essere normale: scuola, gioco, sicurezza e opportunità per il futuro.

Le nuove stime diffuse a livello internazionale mostrano che i progressi continuano, ma la partita è tutt’altro che vinta. Nel mondo sono ancora circa 138 milioni i bambini coinvolti nel lavoro minorile, di cui oltre 54 milioni impegnati in attività pericolose per la loro salute e il loro sviluppo.

Tra le novità più importanti del 2026 c’è il richiamo agli impegni assunti durante la Sesta Conferenza Globale sull’Eliminazione del Lavoro Minorile tenutasi a Marrakech, che ha portato alla definizione di un nuovo quadro d’azione internazionale per accelerare gli interventi nei prossimi anni.

La Giornata Mondiale contro il Lavoro Minorile ci ricorda che ogni bambino dovrebbe avere tra le mani un libro, un pallone o una matita, non strumenti di lavoro. E se il tema 2026 parla di cartellini rossi, allora l’augurio è che il mondo intero giochi finalmente dalla parte dell’infanzia.
