11/25 International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Performance in Morón. |
The t-shirt says: "Because you are a woman you are not exempt of exercising violence against me because I am woman."
I delivered texts with the next poem:
Because I am a woman some people tell me things at the streets
Because I am a woman I have to censure the clothes that i choose to wear
Because I am a woman some people give me a bad look and stare
Because I am a woman I'm afraid of staying at the corner
Because I am a woman a doctor didn't think that it was inappropriate to cross the line in my body
Because I am a woman I find it difficult to find a job without being exploited
Because I am a woman most of the people think that i like to suck cocks
Because I am a woman I have to take care of not being seen with more than a man
Because I am a woman I have to think if I smile or not, when and to whom
Because I am a woman repeatedly I was denigrated
Because I am a woman I am submitted to some social conventions
Because I am a woman at home they send me to wash the dishes
Because I am a woman they make invisible my lesbian relations
Because I am a woman I get insulted saying that I am anything but a woman
Because you are a woman you are not exempt of excercising violence against me because I am a woman too.
I AM WOMAN, AND I FEEL YOUR VIOLENCE
