"声を持たない人など実際には存在しません いるのは意図的に沈黙させられた者か 意図的に聞かれたくない者だけです"

Simplified Meaning:

Everyone has something to say, and everyone has a voice. Sometimes, people are quiet not because they have nothing to say, but because they are being ignored or actively prevented from speaking. For example, think about students in a classroom. If a teacher only calls on the same few students and never gives others a chance to speak, those ignored students might seem silent. It’s not that they don’t have ideas or opinions; they just aren’t given the opportunity to share them. In history, consider the fight for civil rights. Many groups of people, like women and minorities, have had their voices ignored or silenced by those in power. They had important things to communicate but weren't listened to, not because they were quiet, but because society chose not to hear them. In our own lives, this means it’s important to give everyone a fair chance to express themselves. When we feel ignored or overlooked, we should remember that our voices matter. We should also make an effort to listen to others, especially those who aren’t often heard. This helps build a more understanding and inclusive world.
