NEITHER BITCH, NEITHER SUBMISSIVE, A WOMEN MARCH... |
Photographs
by PIERRE
YVES GINET
/ Taïga |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| February,
1st - March 8th 2003. Ten young women, old from 22 to 28 years old, accompanied
by two boys, all resulting from the "hot" districts, started
a walk across France with a strong slogan, "neither bitch, nor submissive".
This movement is born from the Women's General States of districts, in
the Sorbonne (in January 2002). They started from Vitry-Sur-Seine, where
Sohane, 17 years old, was burnt sharp in front of a dustbins room. They
finished their walk in Paris on march, 8th, 2003, for the great manifestation,
the "day of the woman". more... France - 56 images - added April 2003 |

CODE
PINK, WOMEN AGAINST WAR IN L.A. |
Photographs
by SARA
TERRY
/ Taïga |
| They
wear pink, they carry pink umbrellas, they hold pink flowers, and they
hand out pink buttons – all in the name of peace. They are the women
of Code Pink, a grass-roots movement that has swept across the United
States – and to Europe – in opposition to the war in Iraq.
In recent months, they have marched in demonstrations, descended on the
offices of U.S. senators, and held a months-long vigil in front of the
White House. Their name, Code Pink, is a play on George Bush’s Code
Red security warning system – and stands for compassion, caring
and love; more ... USA - 29 images - Added April 2003 |

TRANS NIGHTS IN PARIS |
Photographs

CRAMPES
/ Taïga |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In
the evening, transsexuals from Brazil, Peru, North Africa, Israel, Spain,
Russia, and Tahiti ceremoniously prepare their gala outfits to last them
throughout the night. As if to forget the discriminatory insults they
are subject to, they wear high heels, strass, and excessive makeup in
order to become singers, dancers, or entertainers in very private parties.
Queens for a day, as Brigitte Bardot or Gina Lollobrigida in highly enticing
skin-tight dresses, alluring cleavages, or transparent skirts, these unconventional
beauties give these soirées a hysterical ambiance; more

IRANIAN CAVIAR |
Photographs
by JASON
TAYLOR
/ Taïga |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| By
now everyone has heard the story: caviar is hot. Since the end of the
Soviet Union sturgeon stocks in the Caspian have been quickly whittled
down by unscrupilous poachers controlled by gun-wielding gangsters. The
fish itself, one of the oldest creatures on earth, is now in real danger
of extinction. Iran is the only Caspian state that is not facing restriction
by international agencies because its system for managing sturgeon to
maintain stocks is considered relatively effective. Iran - 28 images - added March 2003 |

the universe of hope and faith at the hospital where mothers give birth

| When
a few residents of this small desert town – home to a military base
that houses 15,000 U.S. Marines -- decided to organize a peace vigil,
they didn’t know whether to expect ten people or 100.They wound
up with 100 or so demonstrators – but not all of them came to protest
for peace. Instead, a group of about 40 local residents who heard about
the one-hour peace vigil to be held on the sidewalk in front of city hall,
organized an impromptu counter-protest, lining up across the street to
show their support for President Bush; more
