As part of Faces of Resilience we started a series of short video's in which we listen to the stories, the motivations and the struggles of those on the front lines of the struggle for positive social change. Those who despite everything, still have the power, the hope and the resilience to fight for a dignified life. Listen to the inspiring words of those who are making the world a better place for everyone of us.
Behind every story there is a face, behind every fight there is a person, and the road towards a better world is driven by human beings. Often we tend to describe suffering and crimes against humanity in terms of numbers. For example, during the demonstrations in April/May of 2021 in Colombia 45 activists were killed, 18 women were sexually violated and 33 demonstrators lost an eye. But these victims are not numbers, they are people. While numbers are important in showing the extent of these kinds of atrocities, they do have the tendency to dehumanise the victims, to diminish the pain of their losses. Therefore, with these galleries we put a face to the people behind the struggle. Click on the pictures to see the galleries!
