Quentin’s Story: “Witnessing discrimination” by Turgut


I am a Belgian student. I was never a victim of discrimination. Recently, I’ve participated in a project lead by an organisation in Belgium that allows young people like me to meet asylum seekers. I was shocked by all the difficulties that such people can live and I think that even if one never lived discrimination, that shouldn’t prevent fighting against it.
Many people that witness discrimination, turn their heads and pretend not to see. It’s important to me that people that are not affected by discrimination may help the ones that are. I think that solidarity can make today’s society more fair.
