I've seen this image depicted in many forms recently and it bothers me. Physically the covering of a woman's mouth can silence her, but the effectiveness as a tactic post trauma is being diminished. Women are speaking and they are being heard. Maybe not by everyone, but by many.

When it is said the people in power are not listening, our collective response should be, and is fast becoming, let's change who is in power. No more fear of intimidation. No more fear of not being believed. Women are finding strength in our voices and communities.

And this isn't a comment on the artist's work, because it's lovely, but the message of this one image. I don't want to see more images of women as vulnerable & weakened. I want to see them strong & fighting. I don't want to see them as victims, I want to see them as survivors.
