My message for UN Women

On the 24th February UN Women has been launched. On the 8th of March we celebrate the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. A reason for the Guardian, Global Development to start gathering pictures with messages for UN Women.
You can send your message in a picture to them and many of them are being published in the Flickr Group.


Here is my message to this group:




I live in the Netherlands. Almost all women cycle here. Except expats, immigrants and refugees. In many countries women are not allowed to bicyle or they are strongly discouraged. As cycling seems to be considered a masculine activity in many places. But cycling is a perfect sustainable way to move around. Also with children, shoppings, etc!
