Feminist Remix

With this picture I wanted to show that everythin is possible.. you just have to try and fight for your dreams and rights, like Waris Dirie..!!

I think she is the perfect example for a strong and successful woman.. and her way was not easy..she was born into a nomad family living in the Somali desert near Ethiopia..at the tender age of five, she was forced to undergo the inhuman procedure of FGM (female genital mutilation). More than 8000 girls become victims of this heinous crime every day..at the age of 13 her family she should marry a man who was old enough ot be her grandfather, so Waris fled her homeland..After a daring escape and many tribulations she arrived in London.. Her time there was not easy, but she never gave up!

From that moment a talent scout gave her the chance to become a supermodel.. and she took this chance ..


I think she is amazing and she shows young woman especially with no rights that if you are strong you are able to reach everything you want. That is the reason why I picked this collage..
