visual inspiration (sb2)

One of the most popular designs available from my clothing brand is the 'no still means no' design, inspired by having to reject the advances of people multiple times before they get the message.

I believe the reason that the design is so popular is because so many women can relate with the message behind the design, it's becoming clear to me that if theirs a sense of relateability and normality when it comes to addressing the topic then more and more women will come forward and the crimes wont go unnoticed.

While Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even Hanoi jumped to participate in #MeToo’, though not much on the subject had come from China, where social control is strict, and few are able to actively speak out against misogyny.

Now, though, Chinese women are slowly breaking their silence, and quite possibly defying their government through the hashtag #WoYeShi
