  5. August Photo of the Month

August Photo of the Month

September 10, 2014

girlactivistkyrgyzstan

At the end of August, FRIDA was mentioned in an illustrated article by Russian artist Victoria Lomasko who happened to capture a special moment of Girl Activists of Kyrgyzstan reviewing FRIDA’s grant application. The group shared with us the same moment Lomasko captured, but in photographic form.

 

We think it’s a unique Photo of the Month, don’t you? It helps us imagine what was going on in different rooms, in front of computer screens all over the world during the months of June and July when FRIDA’s Call for Proposals was open.

 

Through this photo sharing, we got the opportunity to learn more about this unique group:

We are Girls Activists of Kyrgyzstan. We are from 13-16 year old. We are all different, we have different hobbies, different school, different appearances, we live in different places and we have different lives. But we are all one, we have the same opinions and the same aims. 

We need books that will be equal for girls and boys, books about great achievements of women. We need to stop harassment in schools, at home and in the streets. We want to study science without mockery. We need schools without bulling and racket. We need schools for us and about us! We are fighting for the world without violence, discrimination, hate, injustice and gender inequality! We should be heard!

 

Pretty fierce! All the best to Girls of Kyrgyzstan and hope we’ll get to work with each other in the future!
