Presented by the National Public Housing Museum and Art Works Projects, and cosponsored by the Pozen Center, the exhibition features posters that celebrate and acknowledge the vital role that all citizens play in protecting and promoting human rights while challenging gender inequality and stereotypes, advancing sexual and reproductive rights, protecting women and girls against brutality, and promoting women's empowerment and participation in society. The posters argue for the empowerment of women, achievement of equality between women and men, and the elimination of discrimination against women and girls.
The exhibition features feminist reflections about the urgency of this moment by Beth Richie, Bernardine Dohrn, Nadine Naber, Charlene Carruthers, and Lynette Jackson.
