There are so many different kinds of artist and while some focus on creating beauty, others want to make a difference.

Carol Rossetti is a 30-year-old artist from Brazil who has been drawing illustrations about strong women and their struggles for over four years.

"I started drawing when I was a very young child," Carol told Bored Panda. "But, then again, I guess all kids like to draw. I did develop other artistic interests as I grew up, like acting and sculpting, but they really didn't work that much, so I kept on drawing."

"I started working with illustration a couple of years after college. I created a page on Facebook to post a drawing every day, as a way for me to build up a portfolio and get better at drawing. Only my mom and a few friends followed my page back then, of course... But then came the Women project."

This project went viral, and we even wrote about it in 2014. "Through the Women project, I wanted to start a dialogue about feminism with people from outside of the activist movements. The messages in those illustrations are clear, easy to read and somehow comforting - but also very fast and very short. It's not aimed at people who are already familiar with the concepts of body positivity, freedom of choice, LGBTQI pride, intersectionality, social equality and human rights. I mean, these people are always welcome to feel comforted and represented as well. But I wanted to start talking about feminism with my aunt, my grandmother, my mother, the women in my life who were scared of the word "feminism". So it's more like a call for a debate, an invitation to talk about how sexism affects our lives every day."

"The first characters were based on people I knew (or, at least, the stories, cause the character design were mostly fictional), but soon women from all over the world started sending me their stories and experiences, so the project got wider and more interesting."

When asked what's the best part about drawing, Carol said: "I believe the best part is to learn so much and know that my work has touched some people so deeply. I never imagine it would happen." And what's the worst? "The worst part... well, I wouldn't call it "worst" since there's only one bad side to all of it. When we talk about feminism and human rights in general, you can bet you'll also get angry, aggressive backlash from conservatives. It's something we learn how to deal with, but I can't say it doesn't hurt. It does. Luckily, the love I got has always been greater than the hate."

breasts along with teats on dogs, cats and udders on cows, sheep and goats are for feeding babies, it is all in the warped eye of the beholder. Feeding a baby is sexual?????

Since I am a standard hetero I have a hard time "understanding" homosexuality - but then again, I have a hard time to understand what it is to be Chinese, or brown-eyed, or six feet tall, you know, all of these attributes we simply are because we were born that way. Live and let live, love and let love. And no, ignorant shepherds 1500 or 2000 or 3000 years ago did NOT know better.

That's true. Love yourself and you will be loved. For who you are and for how you look: because (thanks to the beautiful diversity of mother nature) there are lovers for all kind of bodytypes.

Here in Germany beaches usually have parts where everyone can go fully naked. Nothing sexual, just natural. It's so good to feel free in any shape and no one stares or even cares.

A lot of my friends were surprised that I had been abused as I hid it quite well. You never know what is going on in someone's private life when you're not around. Some people learn how to hide abuse and trauma because it's the only way for them to keep going and pushing their way through life.

People do not know how to deal with grief--sometimes they say horrible things that only make it worse. I think we need a book or manual for what to say--it would help a lot.

Ooooh, ya got that right, Carol! I wish people stopped acting as if a person's natural hair was "exotic" or (as in the case in a lot of corporate America) threatening. Even in 2018, people in the US can be penalized for wearing their hair in its natural form because they aren't conforming to Eurocentric standards, and it's ridiculous. My nieces and nephews in grade and middle school STILL get people coming up to them wanting to touch their hair, and I'm like, Jesus, take the bloody wheel, why? WHY? Do we not know today that different people have different types of hair? Someone's hair is not a kiddie farm exhibit where one gets to touch without invitation; hell you can't even touch the animals on a kiddie farm without being allowed to. Nor is hair or a hairstyle a threat to anyone's existence or culture. It's so irritating to have to repeatedly deal with this stuff after all these years, so right on to this!

Sadly, the people who are making these remarks are frequently the same people who have weaves and other unnatural hair styles and colors. An afro is a tremendous amount of work to style and maintain, but, the beautiful and natural results are worth all of the trouble. BTW, it looks super-cool when you start going grey!

Yes and those people ignore the harm they cause to other humans by buying into the human hair industry. Crushing the self esteem of other women to lift your own is wholly immoral. And Afros are a great style anyway. One woman shouldn’t have to be bald so another can have two sets of hair.

I didn't think "kinky" was an insult along with those other ones. Either way, I've found a lot of "African" hair styles very nice, but generally look like they require a lot of upkeep.

First, it's child sexual abuse and torture. Period. Second, since its intention is to make sex less pleasurable for women so they won't cheat on their husbands, an idea obviously thought up by a man, it's domestic sexual abuse that extends to when the little girl grows up. There's just no cultural justification for it. If the Hindus could abolish the practice of suttee (widow immolates herself on husband's funeral pyre), then FGM, which is not required by any religion btw, should also be abolished.

This kind of extra short hair can look stunningly feminine. Even a bald head can, if you know how to style yourself.

I actually had corrective surgery for this condition. The "lazy eye" was distorting my vision and giving me headaches among other issues. Being bullied for this was no picnic either.

I know men who will call their women incomplete even though they have all body parts. Toxic relationships should be ended ASAP, but I know from first hand how difficult it can be. Stay strong and believe in yourself, because you are NOT worthless and stupid and nothing without your man. If he tells you that, then HE is NOTHING.

This one, I so agree with this. Also, sex tapes. Any time a sex tape leaks out, all the public shame is put on the woman? Why? She wasn't alone in this. Also, why should she be ashamed of having a good time? It's so stupid and illogical.

this make you such an easy target for people who really want to hurt you. the last time i was hospitalized i was told to "enjoy my holidays" since i was going to the cinema or out to dinner or for a walk while in the hospital. my doctors do insist that, while iin my time off medication routines and IV treatment, i must go out and enjoy my day to avoid depression and apathy, which are not helping in any condition. mocking me up like that only highlighted the lack of empathy and understanding these people have in spite of claiming they love me and they care.

I own two Overwatch themed hoodies. When I wear them in public men look at me and smile...in an uncomfortable way. And if I'm talking to a hug and wearing it they will inevitably ask. And say "Ohhh a gamer girl." It's so annoying.

Exactly, I never understood the thought behind baptisms, I mean if a god is going to condemn you to an eternity of punishment for things you didn't do and were passed down to you, then you need to evaluate what you are worshiping. That's like getting sent to jail because your great, great, great, great, grandfather killed someone.

Americans really need to stop obsessing about skin colour so much (in this context). Two people with vastly different appearances can easily be of the same culture/ethnicity. It may be unusual in some cases, but it's not impossible.

If it is all consenting adults it is nobody else's business.

I don't know if it's because I'm too old/too fat/too ugly or if I just don't notice because I'm too much in my own head, but I never had a problem with street harrassment. I mean, catcalling and such. Wonder why and wonder if I'm such an exception ?!

That's true. On the other hand many vegans discriminate other people for eating meat. Tolerance works both ways you know?

A long distance is to love what wind is to fire : it extinguishes the little ones and makes the big ones even greater !

People are aware that you can get pregnant from having sex with just one person, right? Getting pregnant does not make someone a "s**t" even when they are young. Jeez

Agreed. Why is it totally ok for a guy to masturbate but a huge no no when it comes to girls?

If you are living in a country with good- up-to-date and affortable health care your life will change less than beeing diagnozed with diabetes.

Even as a dirty blonde I get jokes like this when I do something silly. People will always find something to make jokes about.

Women and gay men go through horrible experiences in the military that are constantly covered up because acknowledging them is "unpatriotic". Everyone should have the right to be in the military without fearing their own team.

Not to mention the ability to easily deck anyone who tries to violate it. More power to you!

I support the Nordic model, which decriminalises all those who are prostituted, provides support services to help them exit, and makes buying people for sex a criminal offence, in order to reduce the demand that drives sex trafficking. Complete legalization has been shown to increase human trafficking, as the demand skyrockets. Human bodies shouldn't be a commodity.

Why on earth would anybody assume that? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. People need to know someone before making accusations.

Hell, I'm physically a woman, and identify as such, yet I have had men tell me that same thing, because of the way I act, think, and talk. So what exactly ARE the criteria for being---and acting, thinking, and talking like---a "real woman", anyway? Probably something arbitrarily decided by men, in order to keep women from surpassing them. Which we easily do at every opportunity. And which they hate. And which we don't give a fat rat's a*s if they do. Which they also hate. Too damn bad.

I agree people shouldn't comment on her decisions, but I don't see this as anything positive or to be celebrated. We should work on changing the culture that tells people their natural features are ugly and need to be changed.
