"Above all, respect us as human beings. We are a different hue of colours, lesbian, gay, trans we are just human beings. For LGBTI people, confidentiality is paramount."


"Documenters are attached to their stories, not to the people. Focus on the individual, not the story. We want people to know about the consequences, how we got past it, how we become a person again, how we move on, have life, learn to live with it, and turn this experience into something positive. That will help us change."

"For my first time telling documenters, they said they came to help us so we were open to tell them everything, instead they lied and profited from us. We decided not to talk again and lost trust with documenters. It is very difficult for a man to tell about our experience, to expose ourselves."
