towards the human rights of marginalized individuals or groups utterly disarm
them; they devastate the most essential tenets of their dignity. To effectively
counter these aggressions, we all need to get rid of our perennial sense of
compassion --the one that only generates feelings of piousness and leads to
charity. This is why I am, once again here, making an appeal for all of us to refocus
our work away from charity and towards HR in our respective professional
lives.</span></p><span> </span><span><span style="font-size:14pt">The alternative I am calling-for is to embrace and
