Offensive statements about girls and women are more common than you think. Everyday, females around the world hear rude and abusive words towards them, so Brazilian illustrator Carol Rossetti decided to do everything that was in her hands to change that.
The artist created a series of supportive illustrations, called “Women”, that helps motivate women in their struggle against gender prejudices and women discrimination. The on-going project started in May, and Rossetti publishes her work on her blog and Facebook. Although the images were originally created in Portuguese, the popular illustrator got some help in translating them into other languages.
The message couldn’t be clearer: girl power!

That's cool, and the same advice is applicable to men, we must respect our bodies and not hit the gym and be into casual sex. Freedom!
the islamic world is like 100 years late when it comes to womens rights and here this post is praising it hurrraayyy
Wow, this is the most awesome, POSITIVE thing for women I have seen in such a long time. Bravo!
Love! This is amazing so refreshing to see something so true and real beautiful x
With a couple of exceptions I think these are good however young people should never think casual sex is OK... it's NOT.
I feel like this might get me some hate but some of these are things that can just as easily be applied to guys specifically 2,3,6,9,11
Carol wrote stupid catchy phrases. Silly people like catchy phrases. The truth is that most of these stereotypes hate each other IRL
I usually find the comments on posts far more interesting than the posts themselves.
there should be a girl who dares to not wear her hijab despite the pressure of her community? that is fighting against gender prejudices
and thumbs up for all the girls wearing hijab as their own choice, no problem!! these feminist posts are still the last place to hype them..
I love this, but it needs to include mothers, especially single moms and mothers with several children.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!! Did I mention that I LOVE this?!! :)
I love this very much. Shared on my Fb page. Very empowering. Words and art going against common societal dogmas and prejudices. Thank y
the abortion one was a bit out of place cause it kinda went into another topic there
This was actually nice. Not preachy at all and shedded some light on some unfair prejudices in society.
Great Effort! I think this campaign is very effective, more sharing is needed indeed
This is what i'm gonna say to bouth of my children (boy & girl) about the 'restricted rulles' in our home!
Love it carol!! Thanks a million for this. This is a requirement to remind how beautiful each and every body is in their own way:)
Wrong to throw out the baby with the bath water - esthetics show respects to those around you. We are not loners. The thinking here is weird
I also think it is wrong to throw out the baby with the bath water -esthetics of appearance show respect to others. We're not loners!
Well i definitely disagree with most of it, such as the abortion (killing an innocent human is not the answer) but some of it was ok I guess
Someone thought Rón was gay and punched him in the face. Deal with it, Rón!
You're not alone in that either; these may have been of women and you may or may not be gay, but if you're not causing harm, why
Load More Replies...You can write exactly the same about men, including a man who was the father of an aborted child.... I don't like sexism.
I think that if women really liked themselves, the cosmetics and beauty industries would collapse.
I think that they should collapse, instead of trying to convince women that they're not beautiful without makeup
Load More Replies...I agree with SOME... BUT I don't like the "condoning" approach it takes on the other more serious issues, like LIFE & HEALTH (#2, 10, 11)
Beautiful. Now plaster them in schools magazines and on TV get the truth out there. Not only help those with those choices but others to see
I live my life by doing what makes me feel happy. I hope these illustrations help free someone from trying to please society.
If someone has those insecurities, perhaps these words will help them.
You are doing the right thing! However, next time, don't write "dying your hair". Dying can't have an object (just a linguist's point).
what? That's the word for it. To dye one's hair.
Load More Replies...Appearance, fashion, ornamentation, sexuality, depression, deep need to be accepted - besides the rape one its fairly milquetoast stuff.
Ham fisted womanganda. Not clever at all. Nobody cares what you wear or who you f**k. You're not oppressed, you just have to deal with opini
She forgot: "Being called anorectic, disgusting and dog only go for bones, just because your skinny."
even the girls in middle east who support the islamic or the middle eastern way of treating girls are just products of that culture...
if u are concerned about girls position todays world, islam or middle eastern culture is the last thing u should embrace.... just sayin
Why'd u have to put the hijab girl in this context? In MOST cases the girl is oppressed by islam or her father or family.....
What about simmilar pics for men? These would also be plenty of themes!
I love this so much! But it needs to include mothers, especially single mothers and mothers with several children. We are heavily judged too
Rón got punched in the face by a complete stranger because the stranger thought Rón was gay. Deal with it Rón. You're a guy.
I Love these illustrations! Honestly it's the best way to say: be yourself and don't let society tell you how to be.
So is alcohol and smoking, but people get a lot less shame for that.
Load More Replies...Awesome! Hopefully there will be a 2nd part featuring male stereotype issues and relationship stereotypes? I think that'd be cool to add~
wow those are all so true and its nice someone is congratulating them in what they have done/do!
I just want you to merge all these women into one, because I like to puke a lot.
i just would like to say thank you for who wrote these. Because i'm so touched and proud for being a woman
Lots of focus on appearance, sexual choice, ornamentation. Besides the rape one its pretty milquetoast stuff.
Absolutelly admirable. That show us that life is to live it however you want. Just pleasing ourselves and no anybody else
Yeah, f**k everybody else. Literally, and figuratively.
Load More Replies...self respect and self love should be classes at school. More important than anything!
the only thing i don't like about it is that the texts sound somewhat patronizing to me, as if written for 12year old children.
I love these. They should be on posters in magazines everywhere. Well done.
This is beautifully done. The issues in this are issues that many women struggle with and it's great that they were brought to attention.
Wonderful! I've been reminded about several issues that, in spite of their importance, I've allowed myself to "forget" about! Brava!!
Love these! Love you where you are. The truth about you is perfectly acceptable.
What a beautifully simple way to encourage women's right to freedom and choice. So worth sharing!
These are fantastic! Art like this should be posted in woman's public toilets/clinics/high schools around the world!
Linda doesn't wash herself, even after her friends urged her to. Way to go, Linda! You're not put on this world just to please others!
i dunno, she kinda just coloured in (quite literally) what most of the new generation is already saying, don't really get the point....
Me encanta su intento de mostrar una manera creativa cómo podemos acomodarnos a nuestros gustos sin ser juzgados/as
Very empowering. So many women spend such an enormous amount of energy trying to please people who are never pleased.
Smart as f**k :D This post shows us how we don't need to conform to society's standards

Cartoons are not powerful. It's utterly insulting that anyone thinks a cartoon will help a woman who's been raped or otherwise victimized.
Mario didn't pay child support. Bravo Mario, you shouldn't feel pressured by society to pay. It's your choice!
Mario didn't help the mother of his child pay for his child, so the mother is stuck doing everything while Mario is living his life.

Society is 58% women Women judge other Women life choices and looks 3x more than men do yourselves against yourselves, that is feminism.
some are better than others:) casual sex - i oppose for both genders. pair them together and send them away from people like us-benefits all
If you don't want to have casual sex, that's fine. But why do you try to impose you own preference on others? It's non of your business.
Load More Replies...The ones where people think its okay to throw yourself at men like whores are stupid, but I like the others
We are withnesses of people's insanity and madness and we all call this "expressing ourselves". It looks like it is NOT normal 2 be normal!!
just as my friend said about the title : 'A way to show cisgender women in different situations in their life & how it could be empowered'
if you choose to despise social norms, what do you expect in return? anyway, representing islam is a hate crim
Which one of these could not have used a name like Tom D**k or Harry?
there is no need to impose your thinking on me... I still have my own morality and I will decide whether abortion is a crime, etc.
One could say neither is Christianity... I mean, think about all the rhetoric they throw around that repress men and (mostly) women,

Sleeping around is not a bad thing on itself, and she's just fighting for the right to decide, not telling us to do so
