This Is What Justice Looks Like

la mia anima mi parla – my soul speaks to me

By: Silvia M.

“la rivoluzione inizia da me…in un impegno a guardare altre donne come alleate, non come rivali (retaggio di un educazione patriarcale che vuole donne competitive per la conquista di un uomo e non alleate per emanciparsi ); un impegno ad ascoltare con più attenzione le parole pronunciate dalle donne che incontrerò, perché ognuna di loro può arricchire il mio mondo e perché dietro i loro silenzi può esserci una richiesta d’aiuto; mi impegno a educare i bambini e i giovani nella stessa maniera, senza differenze basate sul genere.. così uomini e donne possono avere pari possibilità di realizzazione il loro potenziale; proverò a spiegare che le persone che amiamo sono compagni di viaggio nella nostra vita, non oggetti da possedere; mi impegno a dimostrare più amore a mia madre per la vita che mi ha donato; sarò più forte a difendere le mie idee quando queste si scontreranno con il maschilista pensiero; sarò forte perché donna; mi sentirò fortunata perché nata donna; per sempre voglio amare il mio corpo da donna, anche quando esso non assomiglierà ai modelli imposti dalla società maschilista, ma lotterò contro questi modelli”
translation (excuse for my shoddy translation)
“the revolution begins with me … in an effort to look at other women as allies, not as rivals ( legacy of a patriarchal education that want woman compete to conquest a man and not allied to emancipate themselves ); i will listen more carefully words of the women i meet, because each of them could enrich my life, because behind their silence can be a request for help them; I am committed to educating children and young people in the same way, without distinction based on gender… so men and women can have equal chance of realization their potential. I’ll try to explain that people we love are traveling companions, in our lives, not objects to possess. I promise to show more love to my mother for the life she has given me_ I will be stronger to defend my ideas when these ideas clash with sexist thinking _ I will be strong because I am a  woman; I feel lucky because I’m woman ..forever I want love my body, even when it will be not like the models imposed by the male-dominated society, but i will fight against these models”
