WOMEN'S SELF-DETERMINATION IS UNMISSABLE<\/b><\/p>\n

\n

The first campaign created by Arcigay for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (November 25)<\/p>\n

On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, Arcigay launches the campaign \u201c"NO CONTROL OVER MY BODY. WOMEN'S SELF-DETERMINATION IS UNMISSABLE."\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Six snapshots, six Polaroids, to photograph the most subtle violence, the one that limits women's self-determination and freedom over their own bodies, their sexual and emotional orientation, their gender identity, and their life choices.<\/p>\n

The \u201cNO CONTROL OVER MY BODY\u201d campaign puts women's bodies back at the center: a liberated, non-performing, non-conforming body that demands to occupy a public and political space.<\/p>\n

The bodies in the \u201cNO CONTROL OVER MY BODY\u201d campaign are \u201cfaceless\u201d bodies because violence against lesbian, bisexual, trans*, intersex women and women who decide to carry a pregnancy for others, as well as the violence that affects all other women, does not take anyone in the face, trampling on the rights of all.<\/p>\n

The violence addressed in the campaign is not only physical and psychological violence, but also violence born of a patriarchal and oppressive system fueled by stereotypes and prejudice, based on a culture of hatred and judgment, reinforced by a binary representation of society. Violence expressed through sexist, non-inclusive, disrespectful, and therefore violent language, which, cloaked in paternalism and false moralism, leads to marginalization and isolation.<\/p>\n

The women featured in the campaign are not giving up in the face of this violence. In every snapshot\u2014even the most striking\u2014the message that emerges is a positive one: women are ready to fight to defend their right to self-determination. How? By stopping the hand that violates, the hand that abuses, the hand that intervenes without consent. And by choosing instead to hold the hand that welcomes, that unites, that generates love, that chooses.<\/p>\n

Finally, the protagonists of the campaign "NO CONTROL OVER MY BODY" are women who speak out directly, rejecting any attempt at over-determination by others. Their words are amplified by the voice of Arcigay...<\/p>\n

THE WOMEN PROTAGONISTS OF THE CAMPAIGN<\/b><\/p>\n

Michela, lesbian<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love women. "Being" with a man won't change who I am.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cCorrective rape\u201d of lesbian women is a hate crime.<\/p>\n

Faraa, bisexual<\/strong><\/p>\n

I'm not confused, I'm not "easy." I'm bisexual.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prejudice about bisexuality fuels discrimination.<\/p>\n

Valeria, trans*<\/strong><\/p>\n

It's not a vagina that makes me a woman<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gender-based violence also affects transgender women.<\/p>\n

Federica, intersex<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have the right to choose my own destiny<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Medicalization and genital mutilation of intersex people is a violation of human rights.<\/p>\n

Giorgia, asexual<\/strong><\/p>\n

There's nothing wrong with me. I don't need sex to be happy.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Isolation and marginalization are forms of violence.<\/p>\n

Jackie, surrogate mother<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being a mother is a free choice. But not being one is, too. \u00a0<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The expression \u201csurrogate womb\u201d is violence that is embedded in language.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
