Women have been at the forefront of escalating protests in Iran sparked by the death in custody of a woman detained for breaking hijab laws. Crowds cheered when women burned their hijabs on a bonfire in Sari on Tuesday, the fifth successive day of unrest. Activists said a woman was among three protesters shot dead by security forces in Urmia, Piranshahr and Kermanshah. Authorities accused protesters of killing two civilians in Kermanshah as well as a police assistant in Shiraz. At least seven people are now reported to have been killed since protests against the hijab laws and morality police erupted after Mahsa Amini's death. Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurd, dies after β€˜violent arrest’ for infringing hijab rules amid Iranian crackdown on women’s dress.

The one unifying, incontrovertible experience shared by all women and men is that months-long period we spent unfolding inside a woman’s body. Because young humans remain dependent upon nurture for a much longer period than other mammals, and because of the division of labor long established in human groups, where women not only bear and suckle but are assigned almost total responsibility for children, most of us first know both love and disappointment, power and tenderness, in the person of a woman. Probably there is nothing in human nature more resonant with charges than the flow of energy between two biologically alike bodies, one of which has lain in amniotic bliss inside the other, one of which has labored to give birth to the other. The materials are here for the deepest mutuality and the most painful estrangement. - Adrienne Rich Photographer πŸ“Έ @robwoodcoxphoto πŸ‘©πŸ½πŸ‘©πŸ» @whitneymixter @whitneymixter

Let the brain, the body, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced. All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak; do not believe that you are half-crazy lunatics, as most of us do nowadays. You can do any thing and everything, without even the guidance of any one. Stand up and express the divinity within you. The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves. - Swami Vivekananda Photographer πŸ“Έ @aart.verrips πŸ‘©πŸΎ @graobe_noelle

Imaginations that fear Blackness, brownness, fatness, queerness, disability, difference. Our radical imagination is a tool for decolonization, for reclaiming our right to shape our lived reality. People try to shame me for being fat. When I am walking down the street, men lean out of their car windows and shout vulgar things at me about my body, how they see it and how it upsets them that I am not catering to their gaze and their preferences and desires. I try not to take these men seriously because what they are really saying is, β€˜I am not attracted to you. I do not want to fuck you and this confuses my understanding of masculinity, entitlement, and place in this world.’ It is not my job to please them with my body. - Adrienne Maree Brown Photographs πŸ“Έ @shooglet
𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐀𝐍 π€ππŽπ‘π“πˆπŽπ Florence Rice, 86 (at the time the first photo was taken), was raised in the foster care system in NYC. She saw her mother only a handful of times throughout her childhood. When she got pregnant as a young single woman in the 1930’s she decided to have the baby. A few years later as a working single mother, she found herself pregnant again and knew that she didn’t want to be like her mother, unable to take care of the child, so she had an abortion. She got a serious infection afterwards from her illegal, unclean abortion. In 1969 when feminists began speaking out about their abortions, Florence was one of the first to do so. Her story underscored a class divide: richer women got safer abortions, poorer women were more likely to end up at a butcher. - Tara Todras-Whitehill @taratwphoto Photographer πŸ“Έ @taratwphoto From her series I HAD AN ABORTION

The compelling works depict naked women of all ages as well as poetic shots of flowers in water. The subjects are family, friends and acquaintances of the artist, always posing outdoors and at twilight. Honey shot the fascinating images over the course of a whole year, exclusively on every full and new moon, starting at the October 2016 Supermoon. When the Blackbird Sings is named after the bird which signals twilight with a song; while shooting the series Honey was stricken by the song’s memento mori-undertones. The resulting photographs unveil lyrical still lifes alongside delicate moments of tenderness and unashamed femininity, and celebrate the beauty of the female form at any age. While some of the sitters are smiling directly at the camera, others are looking away from it, almost blending into the surrounding setting of moss and trees. The colourful flowers, including daisies and passion flowers, are captured resting on the surface of Edinburgh’s Water of Leith. Honey shot across Scotland and Sweden to illustrate her attachment to both her adoptive and home countries. - @jannicahoney Photographer πŸ“Έ @jannicahoney @whentheblackbirdsings_

Therefore, we have had to constantly speak up and make our voice heardβ€”to share our stories, to highlight our lives and our struggles. Photography and film have both been fantastic tools to raise awareness amongst non-Indigenous peoples, and educate white people about our culture so we can work together to preserve our territories and sacred biomes. This is why we get together every year during the first two weeks of April for the Acampamento Terra Livre (ATL) in Brasilia. Deemed the biggest Indigenous mobilization in the world, this year’s event saw more than 6,000 people from 160 Indigenous nations come together to discuss politics and strategize together, because our futures are connected by joint struggle. All across the country, many Indigenous territories are locked in longstanding struggles to demarcate our lands and register titles; protect ourselves against illegal loggers, land-grabbers and wildcat miners; preserve the integrity of our territories; and reclaim stolen land for Indigenous peoples that have been displaced. Everything comes down to land rightsβ€”vast Indigenous territories across the country remain under litigation, and the processes for demarcation and registration of the land titles have been completely halted by the Brazilian justice system. We have to fight constantly against systemic racism and demeaning notions that infantilize us, framing us as incapable of sensible decision-making and self-determination. Indigenous peoples are the stewards of the Earth’s most critical biodiversity. The world’s largest interconnected communities of species live in our ancestral territories, and it’s our job to protect them. When our bodies are under threat, so too is the collective body of the Earth and, consequently, the future of both humanity and the rest of the Earth’s community. - Eric Terena @ericterena Photographers πŸ“Έ @ericterena @aliceaedy From their series β€˜The Future is Indigenous’ presented by @wetransfer @wepresent To support please visit donate.chooseearth.co

Delirious 3 times...dialysis...... heart failure .....oh my ......emotional, yet feeling light and love constantly.......... We are firecrackers.......We are! We light each other up. We come into each others life and ignite one another. We are powerful ...I insisted we stayed on the path.......in the light.......At time things and everyone glowed......it's hard but it's real, face our destiny, listen to your heart, let the messages come..... "Nothing but light", actually gave me light strength last year when I sat for Anastasia for the project. It made me light strong. I opened a door with Anastasia which helped me heal and love the planet more... July 9th will be 3 months since my transplant.....I am thankful and bathing in the compassionate gift I received.....I am healthy at 65 with energy I haven't felt in many years. I feel new to life and in awe of the power we have stored in the human body, and the life of the soul....I was immersed in prayer and love from many......my family was with me at all times .....I felt God everywhere and in everyone that touched me. - Wendy Photographer πŸ“Έ Anastasia Kuba @anastasiakuba β€˜NOTHING BUT LIGHT’ series

Love likes to shrink the distance that exists between me and you, while desire is energized by it. If intimacy grows through repetition and familiarity, eroticism is numbed by repetition. It thrives on the mysterious, the novel, and the unexpected. Love is about having; desire is about wanting. An expression of longing, desire requires ongoing elusiveness. It is less concerned with where it has already been than passionate about where it can still go. But too often, as couples settle into the comforts of love, they cease to fan the flame of desire. They forget that fire needs air. - Esther Perel Photographer πŸ“Έ @edfreemanphoto Underwater is one of the most demanding, yet rewarding environments for fine art figure photography. Bodies, attitudes and relationships transform in a gravity-free environment, creating new options for images that would be difficult or impossible to achieve on dry land. These images are photographed in swimming pools in and around Los Angeles, using only natural light. Each one requires many hours of computer retouching and enhancement to bring out the color and detail that underwater photography often lacks. Limited edition prints are made on heavy fine art paper and have a greater life expectancy than archival wet process prints. - @edfreemanphoto

And a wizard, which is a male version of a witch, is kind of revered, and people respect wizards. But a witch, my god, we have to burn them. It’s the male chauvinistic society that we’re living in for the longest time, 3,000 years or whatever. And so I just wanted to point out the fact that men and women are magical beings. We are very blessed that way, so I’m just bringing that out.

Yet to fully inhabit these dualitiesβ€”the dark as well as the lightβ€”is, paradoxically, the only way to transcend them. And transcending them is the ultimate point. The bittersweet is about the desire for communion, the wish to go home. We think we long for eternal life, but maybe what we’re really longing for is perfect and unconditional love; a world in which lions actually do lay down with lambs; a world free of famines and floods, concentration camps and Gulag archipelagos; a world in which we grow up to love others in the same helplessly exuberant way we once loved our parents; a world in which we’re forever adored like a precious baby; a world built on an entirely different logic from our own, one in which life needn’t eat life in order to survive. - Susan Cain Photographer πŸ“Έ @blakelittlephoto

Look for the good that happened precisely because things didn't work out the way you thought they would or should. And take your time. There really is no desperate hurry. When we constantly pursue perfection, our life speeds up. We make hasty decisions and snap judgments. Wabi sabi offers an opportunity to pause, reflect, check in with yourself and move from there.

Could you deposit your child to labor in such a place for a day to get $1? If you can't, can you please do something else for us?” Frequently faced with these questions from young children who are forced into unimaginable working conditions in Bangladesh from very early ages, I was compelled to document this child labor situation in a photographic series called Born to Work. I started documenting these working children's lives 15 years ago as a photojournalist. Down in these deadly factories, the word β€œchildhood” disappears as early as the age of five. Rapid maturity is all that will keep them alive. Their silent cries echo from wall to wall in this hell, which is considered a blessed place for them in order to earn bread. Their compact workstations in these factories or even on the dusty brick-making lands are the places where they are growing up independently. The danger and hardships are the same in textile factories, brick factories, tanneries, balloon factories, rickshaw factories, motor parts factories, mirror making factories, coal factories, cigarette factories, and dump yards. There is no single risky job where a child laborer cannot be found. For many of them, jeans with a torn shirt is their everyday wear and a banana with bread is a delicious meal. Escape from an unfathomable situation where 7.8 million children are working in hell, [these children] are looking to you for a solution, which is a terrifying impossibility. I attached my life to them and thus the story began. - @gmbakash Photographer πŸ“Έ @gmbakash
