The last time I bought something new to wear was July 2014: it was a pretty blue dress for my graduation.

Documenting environmental damage and injustice is something Greenpeace has been doing for more than 40 years, but one question has always bothered me.

Yana has pronounced stereotypical institutionalised behaviour including consistent rocking, hitting herself on the head and sticking her fingers in her eyes. Daily tablets control the epilepsy but dealing with the repetitive activity needs one-on-one time. There’s a wonderful simplicity in helping to break the habit – exercise, playing, singing – distraction! With the right physiotherapy care and time, she could walk. But the world moves slow for Yana– and it may pass Yana by before she’s given the opportunity.
