Tanya Kasyan «What is silent», The «Wok Chef» publishing house
In fact, our society is not at all open to otherness, not at all humane to those who first get into difficult circumstances, and then – beyond the conventional limit of «normality». There is nothing to talk about. We do not know anything about how women with addiction or HIV status or homeless women live, for example. Double stigmatization (as representatives of the vulnerable category and, at the same time, as women) reliably isolates them from our view. Journalist and social activist Tanya Kasyan communicated with such women during the year and subsequently published an honest, inspiring book about it. As you read this, you are definitely a happier person than those, who feels much worse than you.
