Review
...a thought-provoking collection of short stories and poems, cerebrating freedoms or quietly morning their loss. ...it has the force of several one-inch punches, delivered without pause... The Guardian groundbreaking compendium [...] It combines beauty with reality and hope with despair in a way that provokes discussion about human rights, in a highly readable format that will engage even the most reluctant or least academic. [...] exploring these pages is even more highly recommended, as awareness is the most powerful weapon. Bianca's Book Blog Here I Stand includes short stories and poems which explore some of the most important human rights issues facing young people today. --rightsinfo.org
