Sadly today women and girls are still being put into a corner with the way they should dress, behave and look. Our society needs a big wake up call when it comes to how we treat females, on a daily basis females around the world are still being the target of abusive language and behavior. Brazilian illustrator Carol Rossetti decided to create a set of 15 Powerful Illustrations to Show Women How To Fight Gender Prejudices.

Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, cultural, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist advocates or supports the rights and equality of women.

Feminist theory, which emerged from feminist movements, aims to understand the nature of gender inequality by examining women’s social roles and lived experience; it has developed theories in a variety of disciplines in order to respond to issues such as the social construction of sex and gender. Some of the earlier forms of feminism have been criticized for taking into account only white, middle-class, educated perspectives. This led to the creation of ethnically specific or multiculturalist forms of feminism.

She has created a series of illustrations titled, Women, to help show how women don’t all have to look and act the same. These powerful  illustrations motivate women in their struggle against gender prejudices and women discrimination. The on-going project started in May, and Rossetti publishes her work on her blog and Facebook. Although the images were originally created in Portuguese, the popular illustrator got some help in translating them into other languages.
