Freedom is an integral part of human nature and a fundamental right of every human being. Life without freedom is slavery and a nation that raises its voice against slavery for its fundamental rights is a brave nation.

It is the duty of every human being to raise a voice for the oppressed and helpless people and convey the message to the relevant forums for the end of persecution against them. These oppressed people include all those who have been oppressed for decades for their fundamental rights to identity.

 I have worked with the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace, and I have had many opportunities to speak out against all forms of persecution. Whether that oppression is against a particular group, or against the Kashmiri people. This strengthened me with the idea” If you can’t fight against oppression, raise your voice.”
