- "My play gives a voice to the many thousands of women systematically raped and tortured. Society rejected these women, silenced their stories and denied their existence.
The stigma of rape and collective shame was so huge in a socially conservative society. These women could not disclose the attacks they had suffered, and if they tried they were treated with contempt by their own people.
The play is not only culturally important but also educationally important. These Birangona Women are elderly and dying now, and when they die their stories die with them.
They have been silenced for too long – it's important the world hears their stories now." (en)
