Las Mofas Magicas (The Magic Glasses)

Two weeks ago i was holding a meeting on Violence Agaisnt Women at UN-ESCWA. During one of the sessions this video titled "Las Mofas Magicas" (meaning the magic glasses) was screened. Please take a moment to watch it...it's only 15 minutes. 15 minutes have passed and no one of the 20 participants moved or even blinked. For a week we were trying to define and explain violence against women. We were trying to conceptualize it and put meaning to it. But after these 15 minutes have passed, i realized that everything looks different when las mofas magicas are on. Not only that...but i also realized that each and everyone of us wears his own mofas magicas. Its like DNA...to each his own tastes, own personality, own appearance and..own experiences. I will take the opportunity in this blog to show u what's beyond my mofas magicas and try to make u see through them:) Enjoy!
