Eye on dignity

The fourth episode of Dignity During a Pandemic gives insight into the impacts of living under quarantine for a young person with a lot of wisdom to share about children in care and education, authority, disability, and mental health.

Wen Chan talks to Sam Busch (they/them), a student, a trans person, a person living with a disability, and community organizer. Sam is also an alumni of Roots4Change, a youth led project to build advocacy tools and educate peers on human rights. Stay tuned to hear how Sam experiences dignity and how they envision a world which holds our full humanity.
