Attention, I need more voices! Can you hear me? See me? Read me?
I was invited to make this video. I'm here.
Today is an important day, isn't it? International Women's Day.
Around the world, or almost everywhere, there are applause, mentions, gifts... today, I only ask for a voice!
I am indeed happy with our achievements, spaces, rights, recognitions. Is anything missing? Women, tell me, is anything missing?
Sometimes, however, there is silence. And it's impossible to echo transformation in silence.
So, today, I only ask for a voice.
I go further, because I need to address that if there isn't one woman free in the world, then no woman in the world is free.
Look, according to the UN, in 2021, more than 81,000 women were murdered for the simple fact that they were women. Of this total, 56%, over half, were killed by their husband, partner or other family member.
Now, how many more are suffering from other types of violence right at this moment?
But, you might be wondering, what is the founder of LongVision doing here on social networks, talking about this day, besides the fact that I am a woman, and bringing these statistics?
I sit on the board of directors of Beleza Escondida (Hidden Beauty), a Brazilian Non-Profit Social Organization that works to reduce violence against women. LongVision has been an official supporter of the project for years.
I am also a co-author of the book Roses and Thorns, where 5 women tell our stories with the courage to face our suffering and rediscover self-love. Because all of us, every single one of us, deserves a new start.
On this Women's Day, people ask me what to do. I don't have all the answers. But a good start would be for you to commit to being part of the solution.
Educate yourself, engage in dialogue, give support.
We can indeed change our reality. But it's not an individual fight. The fight is ours, it's everyone's. Not just women’s but men’s fight, too. It's the entirilty of humanity.
I used everything I have to be up to this invitation and this day. Now, it's my turn to invite you. I used my voice, can I count on yours?
