Voicebox: Activism

Activism

Never before have so many issues been championed at once. The environment; equal rights for ethnic minorities and LGBTQ+; an end to class discrimination and access to opportunities for the disabled. It's been over 100 years since women in the UK were first allowed to vote and the feminist fight for gender equality still continues. Refugees in desperate need of help and compassion are instead treated as criminals. Activism is integral to making these issues mainstream and bringing about much needed change. We at Voice want to shine a light on these movements, and specifically how you are campaigning for change. Big or small, global or personal, we can all make a difference, and we want to hear your stories. So whether you're at the forefront of an international movement, or you've just decided to cut down on plastic, share your story and help inspire others to make the world a brighter place!

    Twinkleberry: A refreshingly positive portrayal of pride.

    by Ellie Blackwell Voice Reviewer

    Both uplifting and shocking, engaging and informative, this short piece was cleverly put together and puts an image to the high school that every queer (and even straight!) person wishes they grew up in.

    Fashion as protest

    by Sheona Mountford Kickstart

    The history of protest is incomplete without looking at what people wore. It is how people express what cannot be said, or how they reclaim their identity. Here are a few examples of how fashion has furthered protest throughout history.
