“I cannot remeber the first time something didn’t feel right. I do remember the first time someone grabbed me on the street. I was 13 years old and coming back from the market with both of my hands full with groseries. A man came by in a bycicle and, without even stopping the bike, he grabbed my ass. I couldn’t even react, I froze. I came back home and didn’t tell anyone. I also didn’t tell anyone about that time when I was 16 and waiting for the bus. A man stopped his car next to me and started to masturbate.Though the first time someone had grabbed by ass was at school when I was 10 years old. At that time I was told it was “a child’s game”Now, with 30 years old, I look back and remeber a 18 year old me that would be DISAPPOINTED if by the end of a dancing night at a club no one had GRABBED MY ASS. Isn’t that crazy? The world had convinced me that my self-worth was measured in grabbings. That’s the patriarchy” – Andrea, 31 years old

«What I find the hardest to change, or more like implement, is my own empowerment. Even though I «know» that my body is just a body, that I have to love it because it is the one that takes me through life and has been there for me always. Still, it does not look like the bodies on the magazines and that still gets to me. I have good days when I put on a short and do not care about my cellulite. Then there are days where I put on baggy clothes so I do not have to deal with the mirror. Nevertheless, I know it is just something in my mind. In my case, something very difficult to take out.» – Andrea, 31 years old

«I proclaim myself publicly as a feminist since about a year ago. At first, the word had such a bad perception that it would ashamed me. Over time I realized that the problem were the other people that didn’t bother to learn or understand, not me. I was not a «feminazi», I was a feminist. And feminism NEVER harmed no one.» – Andrea, 31 years old

“My ideal society would be one where being born man or woman is just another characteristic. Like being born blonde or brunette. We could all do everything, we would all have the same rights and responsibilities” – Andrea, 31 years old
