I am in a group with Molly and Immie, and we are going to protest against the objectification of women; there being absolutely no excuse for it in any shape or form.
We all have strong feminist views that come from different angles but we will show these off in our protest; concentrating on the idea that girls should be allowed to wear whatever they want and not be objectified. Women all over the world are violated against, raped, trafficked, shouted at and generally abused- we want to make sure that this abuse is never seen as the victim's fault because she was 'asking for it'... abuse should never be accepted.
The use of the school building will be really interesting because there is so much objectification in school, such as name calling and joking about that is completely unnecessary and even though is seen as a joke, can lead to much more serious implications.
We are fighting against this. From the smallest to the biggest violations... there is no excuse.
Our first ideas were to dress in little clothing to catch people's attention and draw out people's first thoughts about girls in little clothing, because we know what the majority of people will be thinking; 'sluts' and 'I want some of that'. Our statistics, dialogue, and art forms will make people feel ashamed of thinking these things and noticing what few words can do in the long run. We were thinking of writing names that women are called over our bodies as if they are permanently attached to us- maybe we could continue with the idea of getting them off of us as a protest that things can change.
