The process of creating the magazine was more than writing entries. We also wanted to have a writing process in which each member respected each other, share their opinion in an environment that they feel safe and felt no hierarchy. Of course, as a community, Voice Up Japan reunites us on values we commonly share, a guideline “that envisions an equitable society regardless of one’s gender, sexuality, race, nationality, or religion where nobody is silenced and everyone can voice up to improve an issue or pursue their happiness”. A place where everyone can feel heard and safe. This guideline shaped our philosophy in our process making the magazine.
