#Medusa was a powerful, formidable deity who could turn her gazers into stone. Mythologized throughout time by misogynistic fears of female liberty and sexuality, she has been immortalized as a totem to ward off evil and remains the symbol of female empowerment threatening patriarchy. Before any of that she was a victim and over time her voice has been able to be heard and her story told through female interpretation versus the "heroic" male gaze.
For many, Medusa has become a powerful figure for strength, resilience and a voice for women who have also been victims.
We stand in solidarity with survivors on #DenimDay and everyday and continue to give back 20% of our proceeds to our charity partners, one of them being @rainn who is the nation’s largest anti- sexual violence organization. RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline and carries out programs to prevent sexual violence, help victims, and ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice.
Leave a 💙 if you too stand in solidarity with survivors. We will gift two people who comment a Medusa Necklace.
