 Women form 51 percent of the population of the Earth, they should be able to have access to the same level of education, knowledge and education than men.

How can we still be there stating this? In 2018...

They should be paid equally and involved equally when working together with men. And they should be able to feel protected from pressure and any form of verbal or physical violence at any point of their day.

Of course, as a firm believe that fear should never control us, I always found that courage starts from within. We need to concentrate on the goal, the path, not the obstacles or the dark streets ahead. But sometimes, violence arises in unexpected circonstances or corners.

My plea today is just for mutual respect. And a higher level of consciousness in our interactions and exchanges.

With a soundtrack:

Björk - 'Undo'

Lyrics:

It's not meant to be a strife
It's not meant to be a struggle uphill

It's not meant to be a strife
It's not meant to be a struggle uphill

You're trying too hard
Surrender
Give yourself in
You're trying too hard
You're trying too hard

It's not meant to be a strife
It's not meant to be a struggle uphill
Sweetly
It's not meant to be a strife
To enjoy
It's not meant to be a struggle uphill

It's warmer now lean into it
Unfold in a generous way
Surrender
Surrender
Undo
Undo

It's not meant to be a strife
It's not meant to be a struggle uphill

I'm praying
To be
In a generous mode
The kindness kind
The kindness kind
To share me
Quietly ecstatic

It's not meant to be a strife
It's not meant to be a struggle uphill

Undo
Undo if you're bleeding
Undo if you're sweating
Undo if you're crying

Undo
Undo
