Occupy Movement

“The Occupy Movement is an international protest movement directed towards social
and economic inequality, its primary goal being to make the economic structure and
power relations in contemporary society more fair. Different local groups have different
focus, but among the prime concerns is the claim that big corporations and the global
financial system control the world in an unstable way that disproportionately benefits a
minority and is undermining democracy”. Freedom of expression, Technology & New

Doll “protesters” in Russia

“Police in the Siberian city of Barnaul have asked prosecutors to
investigate the legality of a recent protest that saw dozens of small
dolls – teddy bears, Lego men, South Park figurines – arranged to
mimic a protest, complete with signs reading: "I'm for clean elections"
and "A thief should sit in jail, not in the Kremlin".

The Association of Organized Women of Eastern
Antioquia in Colombia

“The march of light” in
Granada town
(Eastern Antioquia)

“The march of light strategy is a symbolic mechanism related to women whose lives
have been affected by the armed conflict. It aims to encourage women to externalise
the personal effects that the war has had upon them and to transform the “victim
condition” into the “citizenship condition”. For this group, the women‟s identity is a
precondition to “democratize the pain”, create new narratives and other memories of
the conflict and reconfigure the social imaginaries of women in Colombia”.
