Come to school and/or work without any make-up. Also, don't dress up and wear plain clothing such as a T-Shirt and sweats/jeans. No jewlery or any accessories and don't do your hair, just leave it down or a plain ponytail. Just go natural. You can write somewhere either on yourself or on your clothing either courage, strength or equality. INVITE ALL YOUR GIRL FRIENDS!
This is to raise awareness about how women should be respected and be treated equally. We are not just objects to be decorated and commanded. We have brilliant minds, creative spirits and able bodies. Also because every girl out there is beautiful just the way she is. This day is also the International Day of Eradication of Violence Against Women.
This is for my MDG project.
I don't understand how this is doing anything. It's not an action. It simply takes most girls out of their comfort zone. So what if they wear make up?! That's their choice and the way they doll themselves up makes them an individual. I don't wear makeup at all myself, but that's just the way I roll.
There are many other things that women can do to show their power, such as rally or support each other. In fact feminine instinct causes us to support each other, so why isn't it happening?
And I'm all for women's rights and eradication of violence against women, and don't get me wrong, I know it happens. I just sometimes don't realize how blatently some people ignore the same issues affecting men now a days too.
Go on, change the world, save the lives of women. I'm right behind you, and all for my sisters of the world. Just don't forget the other side of the coin is starting to see the same cruelty and injustice against them.
For every act you do against objectification of women, remind a man that he's not the total control freak we play all men up to be. As much as you remind yourself and you sisters that they're worth something, remind a guy they're worth just as much too.
Someone's going to pull a "you give them and inch, and they take a mile" one aren't they?
