The Social Circle EP2: The Power of Voice

In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the world of social advocacy, moving beyond the traditional approach of providing handouts to the needy and disadvantaged. Host Sam Yeow is joined by our guest, Heidy Quah, who leads Refuge for the Refugees, a movement that campaigns for basic human rights such as education and healthcare for refugees. We'll hear from a passionate social advocate, exploring their focus, challenges, and how we as a society can navigate effective advocacy for those in need. Here’s what you will learn: Rethinking the approach to helping the disadvantaged: We discuss the limitations of handouts and donations and explore more sustainable solutions like education, opportunities, and tailored programmes that empower people in need. The power of social advocacy: We deep dive into Heidy’s cause, challenges she faces, and how she’s using her passion to create meaningful change Overcoming the challenges of social advocacy: We explore the obstacles that social advocates face and discuss strategies for overcoming them in order to create a more effective and lasting impact.
