  • The Conscience of Europe
    Supported by the Europe for Citizens Programme The Conscience of Europe - ”The Conscience of Europe” international conference, Finnish Parliament 18–19 March 2014, Helsinki - ”Miranda – The Roma Holocaust” exhibition, Finnish tour 2014–2015 - ”With the Seven-String Guitar ”, theatre play, Alexander Theatre, Helsinki, premiere 19.3.2014 During 2014 and 2015 the Finnish Association for Arts and Culture Drom will produce ”The Conscience of Europe” a series of events dedicated to the issues of multicultural Europe. The main event, a two-day international conference entitled “The Conscience of Europe”, will take place in the Finnish Parliament on the 18th and 19th of March 2014. The project will also feature the touring exhibition “Miranda – the Roma Holocaust” and additional cultural events and activities of the conference. Finland’s former president Tarja Halonen is patron of the project. The speakers and participants of The Conscience of Europe conference will consist of European decision makers, figures in cultural life, and recognized academics. The Conscience of Europe conference aims at reforming the EU's policies concerning multiculturalism, minorities and immigrants. During the conference, Veijo Baltzar will announce his proposal for the reform of policies of multiculturalism in Europe. The conference will underline the importance of developing and expanding measures based on education and culture. Our goal is a multicultural Europe of equality where everyone will have the right to cultural identity and self-respect. Those holding positions of responsibility and future decision-makers must reform inherited attitudes towards minorities and build a true Europe of citizens. Last year, Baltzar published, in Finnish, “Kokemuspohjainen filosofia” (“A Philosophy of Experience”, ntamo, 2012), a philosophical-pedagogical work in which his main message is that Europe should reform its policies and systems of education in order to respond to the requirements of multiculturalism.

  • THE BELIEF in a JUST FINLAND AS a FORM of CULTURAL VIOLENCE the Effects of Victim Blaming on the Identification and Assistance of Victims of Human Trafficking
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Trepo - Institutional Repository of Tampere University 1 Mari Ek THE BELIEF IN A JUST FINLAND AS A FORM OF CULTURAL VIOLENCE The Effects of Victim Blaming on the Identification and Assistance of Victims of Human Trafficking Faculty of Social Sciences Master’s Thesis December 2019 ABSTRACT Mari Ek: The Belief in a Just Finland as a Form of Cultural Violence: The Effects of Victim Blaming on the Identification and Assistance of Victims of Human Trafficking Master’s thesis Tampere University Master’s Degree Programme in Peace, Mediation and Conflict Research December 2019 The identification of human trafficking is often referred to as the greatest challenge in anti-trafficking action. Both the offenders and the victims may seek to avoid the attention of public authorities, which is why human trafficking is described as an invisible crime. However, the invisibility may be sustained not only by the actors involved, but also by our own tendency to deny, belittle, or justify an injustice by blaming the victim. The research aim of this study is to explore how blaming human trafficking victims functions as a form of cultural violence in Finland: what kinds of victim-blaming attitudes there are, and how they affect the identification and assistance of trafficking victims. Victim blaming is approached with the theoretical framework of the just-world hypothesis, according to which people may react to victims with denial, derogation, and blame in order to restore their fundamental belief in a just and orderly world.
