International Women’s Day is here. And these women have a message for you – on their undies.
A third of the world’s women have been subject to physical or sexual violence. Realistically, that number is probably higher, given the reluctance of women to report these crimes.
AleXsandro Palombo, a contemporary artist and activist, is known for his subversive art pieces including depicting Disney princesses with disabilities and as survivors of domestic violence.
This year, Palombo has launched a social campaign highlighting the unacceptable rates of violence against women, by enouraging women to express themselves on their underwear.
These women have written as a powerful protest against machismo and brutality.
They are writing for themselves, and others just like them, all across the world.

yes , 100% for gender equality . more women in power equals less testosterone driven barbarism.
I think real gender equality can only come when women lose their media driven obsession with looks and fashion and young women stop dressing like lingerie models , honestly ..you cannot have your cake and eat it too , sorry ladies
Superiority of women over men??!?. Hmm, and here I was starting to believe feminism was about equality. Silly me.
