Flickr Favorites Tuesday: Women, originally uploaded by Marian Florcita.
In celebration of yesterday’s International Women’s Day, and considering that women’s liberation movements have done a lot to bring awarness on urgent topics but are far from achieving freedom, equality and just plain safety for all women all around the world, here a little mosaic showing us, girls, proud… not weak. Strong.
Maladies such as forced prostitution, slavery, female fetocide, genital mutilation, gender violence, etc; are still very much part of the daily life for many women of all social classes all over the world…so we should feel lucky if we weren’t touched, but also never forget how many others need help.
A bit of a political stand here, but apreciate also the bright colors.
All the credit to the photographers. Click on the mosaic for a better view.

En celebración del Día Internacional de la Mujer (8/3), un mosaico mostrando a mujeres …tan variadas! Los movimientos de liberación femenina hiceron mucho por conscientizar y traer temas a la superficie, pero estamos lejos como mujeres, de haber alcanzado todo lo que queriamos o lo que se puede. Libertad, igualidad y lisa y llanamente seguridad es algo que a muchas mujeres todavía les falta.
La prostitución forzada, la mutilación genital, la violencia de género, exclavitud, feticidio femenino, etc; siguen pasando hoy en todas las clases sociales, en todo el mundo. Sintamonos con suerte si no fuimos tocadas, pero no nos olvidemos que todavía muchas mujeres viven en condiciones precarias. No somos débiles, somos fuertes… pero muchas veces atrapadas.
Un poco de posición política, pero disfruten tambien los colores.
Todo el credito a los fotografos que sacaron las fotos. Hagan click en el mosaico para mas detalles.
