how difficult it is, we need to nurture our human rights and our rights to feel to freedom, solidarity
and everything we are fighting for through our everyday work. We learn that we cannot not to take
anything for granted our freedom of movement. We thought the tip normal, but we saw that they
can forbid us to move as we like. And we own this to everyone who fought for human rights before

Message: "COVID-19 pandemic has taught us that desire for life is bigger than fear of death. We
have to learn how to live with it and not to run from it. We have to adapt - our lives, our jobs, our
approach, our behavior. Also, we have to guard human rights in every situation no matter how
specific it is, because it is very easy to lose freedom we and our predecessors have fought for - our
heroes and heroines deserve it. It proved as possible not to jeopardize anyone in order to stay safe
and healthy."

SILENCE
When silent hurts
It does not mean that I do not speak
I groan every time the news hits the ground
Even someone like me is becoming a number In this world
In my state register
Above the roads You say I will be just a step.
While I do not pip for others
I announce myself heartfelt secretly
Under this whitish very contiguous blouse
Talk to goodness, well-being, prosperity
I put labyrinths
Let them know what it is to be silent and to burst
Multiple units wasted dreams
Listen to the entirety of the discourse
"I do not want to be a number of catalogs"
