My favorite work on Feminism within the last 12 months has been mentioned on this blog before. It is the instagram page Catcalls of NYC and all the follower accounts in different cities.
Why do I consider this account the best work I have seen
within in the last year?
The answer is quite simple. Being catcalled is something most women have experienced but have just accepted it as something wrong but also as something normal. It isn't and shouldn't be normal though.
The instagram account points this out in a very real way. Catcalls of NYC does not post abstract political ideas. They don't use a formal way to speak. They don't even really express their opinion. All they do is point out what really happens everyday all over the world. This makes it so important to me. It is for everyone to see and understand and thus encourages everyone to join the movement and become more feministic. This also makes it so strong to me. Nobody can argue with the content of the page, because it is based on reality. There is no room to argue or anything else. The posts are legit and powerful and will hopefully help the world to become a harassment free place.
