Esta é a miña homenaxe a unha serie de mulleres ordinarias que fan cousas extraordinarias cada día.
Decidín poñelas en primeiro plano, porque as mulleres foron fundamentais no pasado, e son clave para o presente e o futuro.
A lista destas mulleres é diversa e infinita. Xente guapa coma Sinéad O'Connor, Carola Rackete ou Rosa Parks, entre moitas outras.
A súa resistencia fronte a actitudes represoras é un exemplo de feminismo persistente e apoderado que non vemos a miúdo, pero que chegou para quedar.
O meu propósito é poñer no foco de atención as historias da vida e da traxectoria destas mulleres; todas elas queren traballar para contribuír á sociedade, e fan fronte a grandes desafíos co propósito de superalos.
Son mulleres abrindo camiño para que máis mulleres se adiquen a profesións tradicionalmente dominadas polos homes. Mulleres pioneiras, que rachan estereotipos de xénero, e adoptan roles de liderado. Mulleres que axudan a outras a acada-las súas metas. Mulleres e nenas que alzan a voz polos seus dereitos e loitan por eles.
En ocasións, experimentaron reaccións negativas por parte dalgúns detractores. Pero por cada un deles, hai un milleiro de persoas que se aledan de ver cara a onde se dirixe o mundo para as mulleres.
En ningunha parte do planeta as mulleres teñen tantas oportunidades coma os homes. Actualmente, en todo o mundo hai 122 millóns de nenas fóra da escola. Globalmente, a fenda salarial entre homes e mulleres é de aproximadamente un 20%. As mulleres están insuficientemente representadas nos parlamentos nacionais na maioría dos países, xa que tan só un 26,9% dos parlamentarios do mundo son mulleres.
Xa era hora de que a súa voz fose escoitada, e de que comezásemos un movemento para que haxa xustiza para tódalas mulleres e nenas, en todo o mundo.
Este proxecto é para todas elas.
This is my homage to a series of ordinary women doing extraordinary things every day.
I decided to put them at the forefront, because women were fundamental in the past, and they are key for the present and the future.
The list of these women is diverse and endless. Beautiful people like Sinéad O'Connor, Carola Rackete or Rosa Parks, among many others.
Their resistance facing repressive attitudes is an example of a persistent and empowered feminism that we don't see often, but it arrived to stay.
My purpose is to put in the spotlight the stories of the life and the career of these women; all of them want to work to contribute to society, and they tackle great challenges in order to overcome them.
They are women paving the way for more women to work in professions traditionally dominated by men. Pioneer women, who break gender stereotypes, and take on leadership roles. Women helping other women to reach their goals. Women and girls who raise their voice for their rights and fight for them.
Sometimes, they experienced negative reactions from some detractors. But for each one of them, there are a thousand people who are glad to see where the world is going for women.
Nowhere in the planet women have as many opportunities as men. Currently, there are 122 million girls out of school all over the world. Globally, the pay gap between men and women is approximately 20%. Women are underrepresented in national parliaments in most countries, since only 26,9% of parliamentarians in the world are women.
It was about time that their voice was heard, and that we started a movement for justice for all women and girls around the world.
This project is for all of them.
