More than just a t-shirt

Here is one more t-shirt which i would like to share . Its more than just a t-shirt b'cos it was made for a cause. "Manavi"- a South Asian Women's Organization, organised this event at Town square, Newport to create awareness among women about their right , the fundamental right to live a life of dignity that is safe and free from violence.

Many women participated and supported the cause by writing and painting the t-shirts. I also did one.....and my explaination goes like this-------

The t-shirt has two perceptive- first you look at it as a new face of today's woman. A woman with a moustache. Don't take me otherwise as i am not asking women to actual grow one .....but on a serious note , moustache which the man in our society believes as a symbol of authority , command and dominance is the only thing missing in the vulnerable woman. Once she has that right ,she is no less than today's man. In our society (especially the south asian ), its the man who has the right / power / authority to take the final decision . If our woman is given that power ....she is sure to change the world.

Second perspective is the liberated woman with her arms raced up in the sky ...a sense of freedom . Freedom to live a life of dignity that is safe and free from violence.

In the end the small symbol on the right hand side corner is the imprint of the two fingers and a thumb print in the center in red representing the liberated women...

Hope all this effort from "Manavi" and all the participants , helps to create awareness among people.
