In history the act of carrying lanterns in the dark to victims of

violence symbolized a poignant gesture of solidarity support

and the pursuit of justice. Often in the aftermath of conflict

tragedy or injustice individuals bearing lanterns would

venture into the darkness not only to provide literal

illumination but also to offer a symbolic light of hope and

compassion to those affected.


Lanterns in this context served as powerful symbols of

empathy and resilience. They represented a collective

commitment to standing with the victims acknowledging

their suffering and expressing a shared determination to seek

accountability and redress for the injustices they endured


This practice was a deeply human way of acknowledging the

plight of those impacted by violence serving as a reminder

that even in the darkest moments there existed a glimmer of

hope and support from the community. The presence of

lanterns not only provided practical illumination but also

conveyed a profound message of solidarity resilience and the

unwavering pursuit of justice for all.


In many cultures the act of bringing light to the victims of

violence through lanterns was a poignant expression of

empathy and a call for societal healing and restoration. It was a

tangible embodiment of the age-old belief that light can

dispel darkness both literally and metaphorically ofering

solace and the promise of a brighter more just future for those

who have suffered.


We encourage everyone to join us regardless of age or

background. Let us come together and stand in solidarity with

those impacted by violence
