WOMEN’S RIGHTS

International Cartoon Exhibition

I have for a long time been occupied by women`s right to
education, their health, happiness and safety. Women in the world
have to fight hard for human rights. One reason for the initiative
to this exhibition and contest is personal: When my mother was
eleven years old, she was married. My mother knew nothing about
marriage. She was only a child. Twelve years of age, she became
pregnant, but could not give birth and the child died. When she
was thirteen, she became pregnant again, and gave birth to me.
Some years later, after giving birth to my sister, my father divorced
her. Her life became very difficult. Sometimes she said to me:
If I were educated, I could find a job and support you two.
My mother was an uneducated woman but I am very proud of her.
She had a great personality. I lost her in April 2012.

By arranging this cartoon contest and exhibition opening on the

International Women’s Day 2016, I pay my respect to my mother
and support all women’s rights.
