I don't want to live in a world which is sexist, hierarchic, authoritarian, militarist and patriarchic.

I do not want them to give me their system based school education…

I do not want people to die in wars for the sake of a huge deception.

I do not want to have to prove myself as a fully intelligent being and individual because of being a woman.

I do not want to brush aside the state's war policies and their lies.

I do not want militaries who train up dummies to die in wars…

I do not want people to decide for me about anything without asking me…

I do not want to see militarist concepts and behaviours within our movements…

I do not want to live under patriarchic rules, and behaviors which invade my private life.

I do not want somebody to judge people's sexual identities.

I do not want to be ruled by labels such as "mother", "wife", "daughter", "girlfriend" just because I am a woman…

I do not want to live fenced in by borders…

I do not want to kill and be killed…

And.. I am rejecting all of these by listening to my conscience…

Because I WANT to live free and happy in a world where there is no war, or any kind of violence, anti-authoritarian, without borders.

And you?
