Inspiration & Background

Background: As a woman, you are always aware that you are at the mercy of men. Even as a little girl, you learn that there are men who „do strange things“ but act as if they were the friendly uncle and that you should definitely talk to your mom. And this subliminal attention – whether alone on the bus at night or in the office when a male colleague comes a little too close – stays with you your whole life.

When you then hear that soldiers are deliberately encouraged to rape women in war, everyone becomes aware that sexual power is also used as such. A power that arises solely from physical inferiority. However, rape is much more than just physical, sexual violence – it is first and foremost a humiliation and psychological violence. The female body recovers relatively quickly from rape, but the soul never does.

I am a woman and, as a result, a feminist!
