This is my third and last hashtag revolution post. The first was : JACKIE CHAMOUN CAMPAIGN 2014 - LEBANON ( HASHTAG REVOLUTION PART 1) then came STRIP FOR CHANGE CAMPAIGN - LEBANON (HASHTAG REVOLUTION PART 2 ) and today comes the I Am Not a Weapon Campaign.

Domestic Violence. Two very heavy words put together. March became the month for Domestic Violence awareness in Lebanon. This issue has become very sensitive, for many mothers and daughters have gone through domestic violence and have not spoken of it because of fear. Most of the time when someone outside tries to interfere and fix a problem inside a family, the words "Do not interfere, it is a family situation, we will handle it" is said. Sometimes the violence does not only cause scars but also DEATH.

Protests happened in March for the Lebanese Government to enforce its law to protect the woman.
Here are some pictures from the protests and the online #BeatDomesticViolence Campaign























This is my second post about the Hashtag Revolution. The first was  Jackie Chamoun Campaign 2014 - Lebanon ( Hashtag revolution part 1).

The reason for this title is due to the fact that hashtags ( #) have become so mainstream and so powerful ! Also, the word revolution was added because when I first researched for the #stripForJAckie pictures I ran into the I Am Not Naked Facebook Page that showed how the #StripForJackie became #StripForChange and now it has become #BeatDomesticViolence

Today's post is about #StripForChange. The concept of these pictures is that there are so many problems that should be addressed in today's world and nudity should be the least of our problems.
Pictures were taken from Lebanon, Paris, Boston, London, and  Montreal.
















The pictures may not address issues precisely, but in my opinion they do address issues unconsciously. For example, when I looked at the sentences "I am a dancer" or " I am a student" I thought about how underestimated we are. "I am a woman" gave me the feel that feminism is taken very lightly, our role as women is still being mocked and laughed at.

If you got any other thoughts let me know,
I loved the average Joe picture, who did you?
