WOMEN ON THE VERGE
Photography Exhibit - March 20th - April 30th
"Today we can declare that globalization is the hidden power for women,
and it therefore has become clear that she is more capable of shattering the
fetters to cope with the necessities of the rapid change in our country. [...]
My dear women! you have revolted from all over the country of Yemen, Tunisia,
Egypt, Libya and Syria in order to construct a dignified life and a better
future. Therefore, there is no way that we should bend down or go back. [...]
I do believe that the prosperous future is for women, and it is we who make the
dreams come true and a better future. It is she who creates dignity and
liberty. Thus, whatever that has accomplished was a collaboration between men
and women alike. One of the necessities of partnership is for the woman to
obtain her full rights. No dignity and no liberty for a nation which oppresses
women and take away their rights."
Tawakkol Karman, Noble Peace Prize Laureate, 2011
