Gender Justice and the Center for Digital Storytelling’s Silence
Speaks initiative are working together to enable young people and
adults affected by violence and HIV and AIDS to share their stories. >From
cities to rural villages, the project offers participants a rare opportunity to
talk about their own experiences and bear witness to the lives of others, in a
supportive setting. Through intensive, participatory video production
workshops, we are bringing rarely-heard voices and images into the civic
arena.. Our hope is to deepen existing conversations about gender norms and the
spread of these twin epidemics, by highlighting every-day voices of courage,
survival, and action.

Digital Stories
|
Please know in advance that some of these stories are quite serious in nature. We have done our best to offer a brief summary, so that you can decide which ones you are prepared to watch or share. We hope that as you view them, you remember that the stories do not define “who the storytellers are” but rather depict points of view that they chose to explore in the digital storytelling workshop setting. Our stories evolve and change just as we do, as we move through our lives.
