Apology

In Felix #1869 (“Meet the candidates running for IC President”), a statement was made regarding Mr Maazu Bayuoni’s manifesto promises. Whilst Felix aims for neutrality and fair coverage of all candidates, including critique, this statement was deemed too direct a statement of criticism, relative to our assessment of other candidates, and thus put Mr Bayuoni in worse light relative to the other candidates. As such, we have retracted the aforementioned statement from our online edition.

I would like to apologise to Mr Bayuoni for any distress caused, and would like to assure him personally, as a fellow Muslim and person of colour who has been subject to bullying for both my faith and ethnicity, that Felix does not stand for racial intolerance of any kind.

The presence of a single kind of justice

The planetary crises do not affect people equally. Marginalised people are hit worse most of the time. Not only are they hit worse, they also receive less support and are frequently not considered in decision-making. The examples are endless: in the global south, women and girls are exposed to more
