See the picture of Australian, Aboriginal, and Torres Strait Islander flags flying together in the above link. It is a common sight. Compare the inclusiveness with the horror below.
Help students understand the Chinese government’s violations of Uighur people’s human rights, hear the voice of a young Uighur woman, and consider the international community's response.

'Uighurs comprise
less than 1% of China’s overall population but historically were the majority in Xinjiang, a region China has controlled since 1949. As China has developed Xinjiang economically, the government has encouraged Han Chinese to migrate to the province. This migration has inflamed tensions between the Han majority and the Uighur minority. Since 2000, Uighurs have protested unfair treatment by the majority and multiple riots have broken out, including a
riot in 2009 in which 200 people died. Claiming this violence was caused by separatist-fueled terrorist groups, the Chinese government has responded in recent years with widespread repression targeting the broader Uighur population. The government began implementing surveillance and policing tactics against the Uighur in 2016 that have arguably made Xinjiang one of the
most heavily monitored places on earth. Uighurs are banned from fasting during Ramadan, naming their children with traditional Muslim names, and wearing “
abnormal beards.” In 2017, the Chinese government began detaining large portions of the Uighur population in what they call “reeducation centers” but are reported to be prison camps. Eyewitnesses and human rights experts have reported that
political indoctrination, torture, and forced sterilizations of women occur in these camps.
More than one million Uighurs are thought to have been detained.'
