Uncover the compelling talk that unravels the systemic marginalization faced by Panjabi communities in Canada's healthcare and social welfare systems, exposing the deep-rooted colonial foundations that perpetuate inequality. Journey through the shortcomings of current services in addressing intergenerational trauma, community-driven practices, and language barriers, which perpetuate a mere illusion of liberation. Explore the visionary Panjabi-Centred Design (PCD) Framework, merging traditional values with contemporary design approaches, to forge a path towards equity, inclusivity, and well-being. This talk emphasizes proactive solutions, dismantling reactive approaches, and delves into factors like intergenerational trauma and language barriers, while striving for transgressive liberation. By challenging colonial practices, holding authorities accountable, and empowering community engagement, the PCD Framework seeks to emancipate Panjabi communities and other marginalized populations from oppressive systems, paving the way for true liberation.
