Painting by Jose Roosevelt

I’m as old as the
World, as the suffering of
Every woman.

I’m as young as the hope that
Darkness can never turn off.

Tanka, Women's right

I am a mother,
I give life, I heal, I care.
I am always there.

And they say that I am weak…
But water destroys mountains.

Tanka, Women's right

Art by Oleg Dou

They are silenced,
They are shadows in the world
They gave birth to.

Patriarchy denies their
Rights, they just are child bearers.

Lesbian pride, Women's right

Your skirt is too short!
Your neckline is revealing!
Your are just a slut!

“Man! Should we wear a burqa
To prevent you from sinning?”
