Art highlights repression: Women are being exploited globally as Amnesty launches awareness campaign
An incredible article and one that I picked up on from my friend at Fujifilm highlights how far the world still needs to go to combat sexual repression. This article is full of alarming facts and figures. All these figures are the focus of a two year global campaign by Amnesty International launching today. ‘It calls for everyone to be able to learn about their body, sexual health and relationships, to choose their partner and when or if they have children and to access sexual and reproductive health services’.
The charity teamed up with Tokyo based artist Hikaru Cho for the ‘My body My Rights’ campaign with a series of unique images.
