by Nanette Ashby and the voices of the people from the Feminist March in Amsterdam 2023
.
Equity is key
.
Hoe laat is het?
Solidaritijd
The clock strikes one
Battlecries erupt from De dam
.
Hey Hey ho ho The Patriarchy has to go
We March
for you
for them
for me
Feminist March 2023
.
Show me what a feminist looks like!
Our signs are our weapons
Our voices our power
.
We angry
We fight back
We’re not ovary acting
.
When human rights are under attack
what do we do?
Stand Up
Fight Back
.
This is what a feminist looks like!
We’ll be less activist if you be less shit!
Equal rights are human rights
,
This one is for my daughter
Viva la Vulva
This is my pussy
I can do what I want with it
My body my choice
.
Wherever we are
Wherever we go
Yes means yes
And no means no
.
I wonder why we take
From our women
Why we rape
Our women
Do we hate our women?
.
Their body their choice
Mijn trans lichaam mijn keuze
My body is not a political playground
Hey Hey ho ho Transphobia has to go
Equality has no gender
.
Feminist like my mom
Anything you can do
I can do bleeding
Abortion is healthcare
Your body your choice
.
I am a slut
A slut for equal rights
I was not made to be subtle
I will not be silent
Our body our choice
.
Hey hey ho ho Slut Shaming has to go
Stem op een vrouw
.
What do we want?
Equality
When do we want it?
Now
.
It’s not all men
But it’s all women
White cis men do your part
Hey Hey ho ho Sexism has to go
Real men are feminists
I do not exist to satisfy the male gaze
Power to the Pussy
.
Show me what a feminist looks like!
This is what a feminist looks like!
.
Men of quality do not fear Equality
Down with the patriarchy
We need radical empathy
.
Feminism should be decolonial
If it isn’t intersectional
I don’t want it
Hey Hey ho ho Racism has to go
.
Support the undocumented
We are stronger together
Say it loud, say it clear
Refugees are welcome here
.
What do we want?
Peace
When do we want it?
Now
.
Angry women write history
We stand with Iranian Women
So bad even introverts are here
Support your Sisters
Woman Life Freedom
Hey hey ho ho Gender violence has to go
.
Text me when you get home
.
