“I join demonstrations, but I
don’t stand in the front line.
I mostly do backup and raise
awareness. I’ve organized a lot
of activities at school, such as a
class boycott. We’ve organized
film screenings and talks,
hoping to politically enlighten
the younger students.”
—BORIS, 16“My father and mother are opposed
to me going to the protests. They
don’t want me to protest—they call it
rioting. Every time I go, I need to hide
myself. [My father] doesn’t know I’m
on the streets.”
