Denied identity

March 8- the western world celebrates women and their contribution to society and culture. My wish is that the women in those countries who are denied even to be seen fight the long and painful battle to gain their freedom and public identity. Good luck women, and may you one day be able to drop your niqab and let us see your beautiful faces.

Vibrant image... Strong script for a denied identity struggling to see a better world with an unveiled face. Well said, dear Carla...and TOP SHOT, as our beloved friend Glenn has commented... his spirit will be watching your work!

Per ora l'unica Fotografia che ho visto che riesce a dare un senso all'8 marzo.

Grazie Carla

Non a caso il giorno di pubblicazione... foto per riflettere, oltre al documento in se. Sempre grandi foto le tue. Un abbraccio.

Foto incisiva, che, senza retorica, descrive una realtà difficile da accettare asetticamente e acriticamente.
Condivido la tua opinione che è molto di più di un'opinione, in quanto esalta valori universali che dovrebbero essere il fondamento di qualunque gruppo di persone.
Un caro saluto,
Carlo

Rob, 'normal way' is 'normal way' for us, in Muslim countries their ways are 'normal ways'.
If a woman wants to wear a burka out of her own free will, it's fine by me, like a woman who pierces her body in all possible ways. Her choice, I don't judge.
What I'm trying to say is - everyone, men and women, should be individually free to choose all aspects of their life, including clothes. Millions of women are denied choices. They are denied a precious and rare asset called freedom.

Thank you Rob for your comment. I disagree when you say it's their (the women's) choice, it's their men's choice, it's the pressure of living within a culture (a religion) that equates a female body with a source of sin for men. But I think that it's up to them to fight the battle for freedom to wear what they like. The western world (western women) should leave them alone and not put any pressure for change. Change is healthy only when it's slow and shared. I will not live to see it, but I hope it will happen, for them. I agree with you that western women sometimes (un)dress in an unappropriate way, showing unreasonably too much. I hate when I see women tourists in mini-shorts and tank tops in muslim countries, or in Asia where women dress more conservatively.
