Way too often i hear some people say that the oppression of women in society has nothing to do with their sex. And when i hear this, i feel insulted as an african woman since "Sex based oppression" is part of our everyday life. This is a thread about some of those issues.

Redoing some African Precolonial hairstyle. Thread !
For those who don't know, I started sculpting my hair a few years ago because I was inspired by a photo album that showed the kind of hairstyle our ancestors used to wear. Image

Today is menstrual hygiene day, a very important day for women all over the world.
The day is the 28th May because menstrual cycles average 28 days in length and women menstruate an average of five days each month. (May is the fifth month of the year.).

#thread
Menstruation is and will always be a part of women's life. However, no matter how biological and natural this phenomenon is, menstruation is a taboo, like everything related to the intimacy of a woman. it can condition her socially, especially in rural areas.
for a lot of people, a menstruating woman is considered as impure, even almost “cursed”. This explains why in some countries, it is not recommended for the woman who is in her period to cook, touch certain things or people, pray, or to undertake some activities.

I take advantage of this day to share this painting which celebrates the biological capacity that women have to give life. I have never yet felt the desire to have children but I remain admiring and fascinated by our bodies and their abilities.

their strength, their endurance, their ability to adapt and transform. The way nature made us is perfect. Even if society pushes us to be ashamed of all these attributes ("dirty period", "perverse breasts") we regain a lot of power when we manage to love every aspect of it.
However, for motherhood to be the beautiful thing it represents, the mother need to wish it. Carry a pregnancy to term should never be an obligation and i am full of anger to realise that in so many countries women don't have the freedom to have sovereignty over their own body.
