So as you can see, anyone can actually help the Tibetan cause – either through sponsoring or part sponsoring. Tibet Support Group is also hugely aided by generous donations, which are quickly sent to India. Any size donation is gratefully received.
We have fundraisers and occasional newsletter to keep sponsors up to date with Tibet Support Group news and upcoming events. Active members are always welcome to join us and assist us with the ongoing work required to build and consolidate our group.
We also have sponsors outside of Australia, so please contact us if you are interested in supporting Tibetan refugees in India.
We have also over the past decades become increasingly aware of the injustices faced by Tibetans within Tibet. It is for this reason we are now affiliated with the International Tibet Network https://tibetnetwork.org/ and encourage supporters to become members of The Australian Tibet Council. The reasons for this are outlined below. “Please take action wherever you come from. Your support for Tibet’s cause gives encouragement and moral support. A struggle which is strictly based on non-violence, like ours, should succeed.” His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Below are the key humanitarian and environmental violations occurring within Tibet
- The excessive use of military force against Tibetans
- Religious restrictions and cultural repression particularly for the enforced “patriotic education” campaign
- The on-going disappearances and detentions of Tibetans who express their dissatisfaction with Party policy
- The restrictions on access to Tibet by media and international observers
- The forced removal of the Tibetan nomads from their ancestral lands
- The degradation of the delicate ecosystem of the Tibetan plateau
The Australian Tibet Council
If you’re interested in supporting such action please contact, The Australian Tibet Council. https://www.atc.org.au Ph. (02) 8005 1497 Our collective voice can make a difference. Promoting a non-violent approach where rigorous and compassionate dialogue is used to resolve issues of conflict and injustice is a wise model. Our Tibetan friends appreciate our efforts and we can also help influence government policy through our advocacy.
Australia can play a constructive role in the resolution of the Tibet-China conflict. ATC is committed to making Tibet an important part of a deepening Australia-China relationship and in leveraging Australia’s growing importance as the global power shifts from the west to the east.
