Understanding Power

Understanding Power explains that power is not an abstract concept but has real, material consequences affecting access to resources, money, time, safety, freedom from violence, and opportunities. Discover the importance of understanding and analysing power to challenge its misuse and promote equity. Understand that the "Power within" is a key concept where everyone has the internal capacity to effect change. The video notes that despite systemic oppression, individuals throughout history have harnessed this internal power to make significant impacts. By understanding systems of oppression, you can see how power structures are reinforced and normalised, making them appear unchallenged. Through reflection and questioning, both individually and in groups, you can identify these power dynamics and work towards change aligned with justice, dignity, love, and equality.
