“Violence, war, oppression, exploitation, they strip not only the oppressed, but the oppressor of their humanity. It goes beyond a feeling of guilt, it forces people into positions that dehumanises them, pressurises them to say things and do things that take away not only the dignity of the victims, but the dignity of the oppressors too….”
