2021 was harsh. We at ARROW, along with the rest of the world, enter 2022 hoping for a better year. The last two years had all of us witnessing death and disease in terrifying numbers, and we all shared collective grief and trauma as we saw the widening inequalities and inequities, continued marginalisation and rollback of the issues and the communities closest to our hearts. So indeed 2021 was rough on all of us.
