just to clarify

this trip is not to bring shame to the japanese people, but to bring honour to those who are caught in the grips of an issue. these issues are not uniquely japanese. injustice issues happen everywhere - we can look in our own backyard, here in canada, to see this.


"to bring honour to those caught in an issue" - what does this mean? those who are caught in the grips of an injustice issue are there because those that have stolen their innocence & dignity, continue to hold them captive because they do not see them as they really are - women, men, children - humans with dignity.

no matter what our circumstance, we were all created for life and deserve to be treated as such and allowed to live in freedom.

those who are caught in these issues do not need to be further degraded, their stories need to be told and the issue itself needs to stop. and they need their life back. and their story needs to be told to prevent these issues from happening again. and again.
