"Across the globe, women continue to endure the oppressive weight of patriarchy. From the stripping of healthcare rights to restricted access to education, women face countless barriers to true freedom and equality. 

Our liberation is interconnected—no woman is free until all women are free.

We invite you to submit artwork that brings women's diverse experiences and challenges to life and celebrates the unbreakable bond of sisterhood. This project is about feminine expression in all forms; we welcome transgender and queer perspectives. Work may explore drag queens, nonbinary folks, or any topic that inspires, empowers, and sparks conversation about femininity. 

Join the Femininomenon! Let your creativity become a force for progress in the ongoing struggle for equity and equality for all women."
