“My Ride or Die”
@lauragonferstudio
When the world is celebrating International Women’s Day, in Latin America women are fighting to stay alive. As a Latinx person I woke up on March 8 [International Women’s Day] feeling powerful, but sad at the same time. I chose to wear a green jumpsuit I got for Christmas and a purple scarf. I decided to wear makeup. It was simple, purple glitter and purple eyeliner.
While parts of the world celebrate International Women’s Day to “commemorate the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievement of women,” in Latin America women are marching in protest of patriarchy and femicide.
