To be deprived of a voice means to be deprived of agency over our own lives. It also means to slowly but systematically become alienated from our own journeys, struggles and inner transformations, and begin to view even our most subjective experiences as though through someone else's eyes, an external gaze.

Not to be able to tell your story, to be silenced and shut out, therefore, is to be dehumanised. (...) In losing our voice something in us dies.

A human being, every human being, is complicated - layers upon layers of ideas, feelings, perceptions, recollections, reactions, desires and dreams. By placing us into boxes they are denying us our own truth. By placing others into boxes we are denying them their own truth.

Mass destruction doesn't start with concentration camps of gas chambers. It doesn't start with putting marks on neighbours' doors, just because they are 'different' - or imposing laws for minorities to carry particular signs or wear certain clothes. Discrimination always starts with words. It starts with language.

Stories bring us together, untold stories keep us apart.
