In a stern reminder of more than half a century of oppression, thousands of robe clad Tibetans gathered in Kathmandu, Nepal this past December 10. On the 66th anniversary of International Human Rights Day, the collected mass rallied to bring awareness of the continued struggle of the Tibetan people; a legacy of cultural and religious suppression lasting 55 years.
As 3 Generations strives to bring the stories of victims and vulnerable populations to light, the voices of the Tibetan people provide invaluable first-hand accounts into the struggles of a subjugated people. The recollections of Nagwang Sandrol, a past interviewee, provide sobering accounts of the continued religious suppression. Her experiences in a monastery, destroyed by Chinese oppressors, are, sadly, shared experiences among the over 20,000 displaced Tibetans. Her feelings of anger and injustice are shared by people around the world.
In 2015, we continue our effort of shedding light on the turmoil that has become a daily occurrence in the lives of the Tibetan people. Look forward to new stories, such as those of Tibet Fund president, Rinchen Dharlo, in the coming year. As an organization striving to amplify the voices of victims worldwide, 3 Generations looks to our supporters to help incite a national dialogue. We need to bring the world to a realization that 55 years of oppression is 55 too many.
