Nowadays women are adding a more empowered role in society. The woman is no longer seen only as an object reflected on a canvas, nor as a housewife. Now women have more value and go out to demand their rights. Although, it is true there are movements such as #metoo that are responsible for seeing for the welfare of people who suffered some kind of discrimination or sexual abuse, there are also movements that support all types of people regardless of their gender or sexual affiliation. While it is true that the empowerment of women began approximately during World War II, today women are stronger and come together to make their voices heard.

In Chapter 2, Ways of Seeing by John Berger, he demonstrates how women were seen in ancient times, how painters embodied in their canvases bodies of naked women in order to demonstrate inferiority to men. That is why I consider that over time the woman has managed to get ahead in the same way has made her rights be respected and in turn respect herself.

One movement that catch my attention is the LGBTQ movement, because they take care of each other , they also encourage to fight for them rights . here is some pictures of them representing what they love, and what they still fighting for.

By the pass of the time people are able to decide what they want to do with their bodies, sexuality based on what they think and  the more important on how they feel. At this time, most of men and women stop taking care about what others say, they just want to feel free and to love each other as how they really are.
