Warren Binford’s Hear My Voice Lets Children Detained at the Border Tell Their Story

Bostonia

Warren Binford
Warren Binford travels the world advocating for children who are trafficked, abused, traumatized, exploited, or forced to migrate because of violence, poverty, or the climate crisis.  Binford “comes with a whole host of skills you don’t appreciate until you see how she sits down and works with children,” says Michael Garcia Bochenek, who wrote the foreword to Hear My Voice. “To put children at ease and elicit information without coercion, to make it participatory, is amazing to watch. She’s a force of nature.”  

CBH professor Binford explains, “I try to compartmentalize, I try to be authentic and emotionally present for the child or the parent or other family member while I’m with them, without projecting my own family and experiences onto the situation.
