This picture is an example of what activism is. The picture shows many people but specifically women protesting about having equality, ending bias, decent housing, and marching for schools where white and African-Americans can come together as one.

Snapshot 5 on Activism

“Un Violador en Tu Camino” represents a feminist protest that was performed in many countries like Chile (2019), Mexico, France, Berlin, London and more, against femicide and violence against women. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8Lc7XNv/ (video was not attaching)

The chant translates to:

Patriarchy is our judge / That imprisons us at birth / And our punishment / Is the violence you don’t see / Patriarchy is our judge / That imprisons us at birth / And our punishment / Is the violence you can see / It’s femicide. / Impunity for my killer. / It’s our disappearances. / It’s r*pe! / And it’s not my fault, not where I was, not how I dressed (x4) / And the r*pist was you / And the r*pist is you / It’s the cops, / It’s the judges, / It’s the system, / It’s the President, / This oppressive state is a macho r*pist. (x2) / And the r*pist IS you (x2) / Sleep calmly, innocent girl / Without worrying about the bandit, / Over your dreams smiling and sweet, / Watches your loving cop. / And the r*pist IS you (x4)
