Mos ua ndal buzëqeshjen
Kjo seri fotosh nga Carol Rossetti hedh më shumë dritë mbi vështirësitë me të cilat përballet gruaja në shoqërinë tonë – por fotot shërbejnë edhe si një mjet fuqizimi dhe si kujtesë…
Ilustrimet e Rossetti janë tashmë dhe në gegërisht, falë përkthimit të vullnetarëve të THY Kosovë.

- Whitney has spent 10 years of her life trying to lose weight so she could be happy then. Then, she realized her body didn’t stop her from doing what she loves and trying to find happiness. That’s the way, Whitney! You don’t have to allow that an excluding and discriminating model be put between you and your happiness. Everybody is entitled to self-respect!
- It was at the 3-year-old birthday of Samantha’s son that an aunt asked “Haven’t you outgrown this hair color?” No. Your freedom has no expiration date, Samantha!
- Silvia has white hair. People have been telling her to dye it, so she doesn’t look old. Silvia, dying your hair is a choice, and never an obligation. If you like your white hair, nobody has anything to do with it. Age is no reason for shame. Your hair is beautiful and the choice is yours!
- Mariana has always loved going to the beach. However, it’s been some time since people started badmouthing her body, and they even suggested she retired the bikini and wore something more discreet. Mariana, your body is not an ornament made to please the public. You go to the beach however you like! Those who don’t want approve your looks can always look the other way.
- Marina loves her striped dress, but the fashion magazines said horizontal stripes didn’t fit her body shape. Don’t you care about those magazines, Marina. The important thing is for you to wear what you like and to feel comfortable with your own body.
- Babi is seven years old. Her parents found it a bit odd that she chose to take a karate instead of ballet. Babi, gender conventions should never limit your identity. You can do whatever you want!
- Helena avoided wearing high heels because everybody told her she would be too tall. Then, Helena tried on louboutins and has never ever wanted to take them off.
- Isaura had an abortion. Everybody seemed to be a lot more willing to judge the legitimacy of her reasons than actually helping any way it was possible. Isaura, regardless of your reasons, you deserved a safe procedure.
- It took Lorena a long time to find her sensuality because she has never seen herself represented as beauty, only as tragedy. But you are so much more than the way the media portrays you, aren’t you, Lorena? Your wheelchair is freedom and it can run over anyone who reduces you to stereotypes.
- Larissa has heard a thousand times she’s not a “real-woman”. But, that’s exactly what yu are, ok, Larissa? You are the only authority of your body and your identity!
- For so long Bia has heard men saying it was hard to find a woman who preferred books to shoes. Bia loves shoes and is also a Ph.D. in French Literature. She has never really understood the so-called incompatibility between her passions.
- Ana was raped. Ana, you are not alone. It’s not your fault. This experience is not what defines you as a human being. You are so much more than this.
- Amanda has decided that shaving is not her thing. Amanda, it’s your body and you do whatever you want with it. No social convention should have a say in your identity.
