A keynote address, which explored how Sikh Feminism can drive social change, was given by Nikky-Guninder Kaur Singh with Mallika Kaur and Geetanjali Singh Chanda. Two Sikh Coalition staff members participated in the conference. Tejpreet Kaur, Community Organizer, presented a paper on "Ik Onkar: Our Sacred Feminist Practice" discussing how Sikh feminists are challenging the notion of segregation between faith and politics by allowing the profound truth of Ik Onkar to ensure our interrelatedness in our work and communities. Simran Kaur, Advocacy Manager, facilitated a panel on "Diaspora and Culture" with a discussion focused on second generation Sikh women negotiating social pressures from both their "homeland" and Western culture.

Two Sikh Coalition staff members participated in the conference.

Simran Kaur, Advocacy Manager, facilitated a panel on "Diaspora and Culture" with a discussion focused on second generation Sikh women negotiating social pressures from both their "homeland" and Western culture. Over 120 people attended the inaugural conference with participants from across North America and th! e UK. * * Diversity Video Winner [ [url]http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/1607/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=3977[/url] ] [ [url]http://www.sikhcoalition.org/Video_Competition.asp[/url] ] Over 850 public votes were cast to determine the winner of this year's Diversity Video Competition!
