Carol Gilligan’s book In a Different Voice has materialised and highlighted in print the experience of women and girls in the field of moral development, raising their voices alongside a theory of morality built on male experience. In the present issue, I wanted to enable the same. That is to say, to leave space for writers who would let the voices of those who experience various difficult situations, who face the experience of exclusion from the majority society, or who experience misunderstanding from their surroundings, speak in their texts, metaphorically and practically speaking. The thematic texts approach the perspectives of people with different experiences of challenging situations from different angles.
