Dehumanization as described by Paulo Freire is when we fail to see others as human beings and rather see others as inanimate things. It makes it easier for the folks in Florida to put people on buses with lies about jobs and housing at their destination and no regard for their wellbeing. It makes it easier to ignore the folks in Puerto Rico without water or electricity. It makes it easier for physicians to tolerate the inequities of this health care system when patients are seen as case numbers or disease names. It makes it easier for the soldiers to kill. It makes it easier for the police to brutalize and murder a 22-year-old woman: #SayHerName #MahsaAmini.

Be deliberate in humanizing the other.
