These postcards were created by women survivors of gender-based violence/hatred and others who are concerned with women’s oppression. The postcards are visual representations of lived experiences and serve to more accurately depict the empowering and disempowering experiences of women. By displaying women’s personal stories in public space, I intend to politicize women’s personal and raise awareness of women's issues in an attempt to stop acts of gender-based violence/hatred.

Visual response to the prompt: "What does The Global War Against Women mean to you?"
I agree. There are still so many careers where women are discriminated against. I also think society as a whole will always place more negative pressure on women to meet their stereotypes.
Sad but true we're still not treated equally in some of the career fields that we choose. By being strong and having our voices heard we hopefully will be treated as a equal.
