9 A special T-shirt

Melbourne, Australia

A bit bleaker by wear and tear.
I was looking for a clean T-shirt and discovered this one, a souvenir from the Fourth World Conference on Women on 4-15 September 1995 in Beijing, China.
I have great memories of participating in this conference.

I held a reading on the subject “The position of poor women in rich capitalist nations”.
A heavy title, but it was all about empowerment of women who didn’t had much chances in their life.
It was also very interactive and I had to do the workshop in two languages: English and German, all with heavy accent.

The picture below shows me in action in Beijing.
