CULTURAL SAFETY AND CAPABILITIES 3
Executive Summary
Cultural capabilities, awareness and intelligence are essential aspects in the creation of safe
spaces for individuals. Different people define safe spaces differently. However all definitions
contain an element of an enabling environment that favors diversity. This paper seeks illustrate
what a safe space is drawing closely from a video clip in which the space portrayed is not safe.
The operations in the clip are marred by cultural unintelligence and faulty cultural capabilities.
Making spaces culturally unsafe is not justifiable regardless of the prevailing circumstances.
Everyone deserves some respect especially to whom they are to enhance their dignity and self-
esteem.
