“ OBR IS OUR BREATH .
It is integrated into our bodies . In Indonesia , over these last years , it has spread far and wide across the country , especially in rural areas where it now belongs to the peasant women , plantation workers , indigenous people , minority groups , youth , and all the marginalized people at grassroots level .”
- TRIANA KURNIA WARDANI ( OBR Indonesia Coordinator )
“ The OBR campaign , in the last few years , has built strong linkages with different communities who feel deep ownership and love for the campaign in their own ways , and strongly believe in the campaign to be the tool to change the world from violence to love .”
- IRENE GAROES ( OBR Namibia Coordinator )
