KYAW HLA AUNG
ON 8/25/19
I remember a time without discrimination. I remember a time where the Rohingya people could vote, go to school, travel freely between cities and form political parties. That was before. Today, our identity has been stolen from us.
As we mark the second anniversary of the conflict that drove us from our homes, I still maintain my faith in humanity. Our capacity for good and empathy is boundless. I choose to believe this because the alternative is inconceivable to me. Even through our struggles—past and present—I have seen the power of everyday heroes in my community and yours that can save us.
