And today, only six are alive, and I am one of those.
In all this...
Thank you.
In all these fights, my sister was with me.
She helped me getting ready for the meetings, drafting the projects.
reviewing the brochures, designing the brochures.
And she was with me in every funeral that I had to go because I had so many new friends, but they were dying young.
The access to the medications was not immediate.
But in every little of these victories, I managed to collect some power.
some hope, some of this courage, and little by little, I started becoming a different person, a very different person from this small, shy girl who could not live out of the shadow of the sister.
After we secured the medications, then came the battle for the legal framework, and then the funding to sustain these gains.
In all these processes, my sister was with me, and I became the leader of the group because I had hair, and I had my family
love and support.
One day in, I think it was 2010, I received a call from the French embassy.
The person told me that I had been given a big award, the Franco-German Award on Human Rights and the Rule of Law.
And they invited me to the award ceremony.
There was my sister, of course.
There was my family.
There were many journalists, also the ambassadors.
And I was not paying too much attention to the questions they were asking me.
