Arcigay Rete Donne Transfemminista's campaign for November 25, 2021\u2014the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women\u2014was created to expose the patriarchal words that don't speak for women but are used to stigmatize, disempower, control, and blame them. By opposing the words imposed on us with those we choose because we feel they belong to us, we want to tell our story, rewrite, and transform the story that condemns us to suffering and death, celebrating women's empowerment and, with it, our rebellion, our resistance, our self-determination, our power, our sisterhood.<\/p>\n
