MAINZ, GERMANY
Pictures of women who were raped, murdered or subjected to physical violence were exhibited along with their stories, on different buildings in the Mainz city center.
While the young women carrying out the action stated the purpose of the exhibition was to denounce the male-dominated mentality and state policies that exclude women from society, the exhibition attracted attention sharing the stories of murdered and subjected women.
Stories of women living all over the world were shared through the pictures, including the pioneers of the women’s liberation struggle such as Sakine Cansız and Hevrîn Xelef. The story of a Shengalian Yazidi woman was also shared and the current situation in Shengal was pointed out.
JXK Mainz shared: “We emphasize that all violence against women must end. We say no to femicide and sexism. Role models for society that have become defaulted by states and politics must be broken. We will fight together until every woman is free. Because a free society is only possible with the liberation of women! ”
