 Welcome to us. Societies are not really democratic until the rights of all citizens are respected and protected. Thor asked me to come and open the conference on the theme of catalysts and to help us start to think about what does it mean to be a catalyst and who are catalysts in the world. My family has suffered for a long time now, the repression of a human being. More than 30,000 people, mostly women and children, were killed as a collective punishment. Why is this? Why won't we have suffering? Being a girl is not my fault. This is life under our eyes. We decided that we will not keep silent. I wanted to share the success that I realized when I was younger. To giving these girls more like me, I thought that open to the rest of the world. Can the world allow so that some on to disappear? Can we allow this kind of state impunity to continue? As an Oslo scholar, what I learned at the Freedom Forum this year is that this world can only change with the energy of catalysts. I've seen what happens when voice breaks silence and in this year's class of Oslo scholars, I've met the catalysts sparking the next round of revolution.
