The Feminist Group Ottar
03. September 2009

Wages, choice of career, poverty, contraception and abortion, pornography and prostitution. It’s all about dignity, life conditions and personal growth. Our task is to change the society. Feminism is to take action.

Struggle for women’s liberation is a confrontation against being simplified, framed up and objectified.

Feminism

is to take room
is to decide yourself
is a political choice

Clarify, confront and make a change. Be a feminist!
