Re-inventing the "F" word

Guerrilla Girls celebrating 25 years!



25 years ago Guerrilla Girls started campaining for equal opportunity, the end of gender-based discrimination, equal access to education, freedom from sexual exploitation
and abuse, reproductive rights education, and human rights for women everywhere in their unique style.

There is still much to do considering these bleak United Nations statistics:

- Women comprise more than 50 percent of the world's population, but they own only one percent of the world's wealth

- Up to 100 million people are homeless throughout the world, the majority of them women and dependent children

- Of the estimated 1.3 billion people living in poverty around the world, 70 percent are women and girls. Women and girls are also the fastest increasing group of impoverished, a process called "the global feminization of poverty"

- Women are much less likely to have steady employment than men, and working women are lower paid, including those in industrial countries.:

Keep fighting girls!

Modern Tools

The tools of "survial" are changing! Swiss knifes now come with laser pointer and USB stick (very handy when downloading those Top Secret files).
