"This is a must-use guide—even for anyone with years of experience interviewing SGBV survivors. Such in-depth new or refresher points can only help any work in this area, and reminding us that our interviewees deserve the time and space to tell their incredibly personal, difficult experiences will only strengthen the stories we are trying to tell."

"As a part of that camp, we are suppose to do any community project once we are returned to our home countries. For this I chose, that I'll teach at least 20 students about "Video advocacy", general awareness about video advocacy and how to make videos, based on what I learnt from you during Youth TechCamp."
