"It was great to come so close to Putin and say fuck you straight to his face, almost two years before other Ukrainians understood what he was doing to the country."

"I am human, sometimes I feel afraid and sometimes I am worried because even though I am not afraid to spend a few years in jail, I understand that my mother and friends will be worried. I always discuss this in my head. [...] Im more scared to live in this country, in this world, and do nothing: to spend life too afraid of everything, too afraid to speak or go to certain places, to just be in a normal work and dont create anything for the next generation. In my understanding, that is much more scary than to go to jail."

"Going into this system means you cannot be against it. Its good to keep a non-governmental free organisation without money from the government, and without having to play the political games. Just to be free and to have the possibility to discuss and control each decision of the from the streets... Its the best and most powerful place to be."

"The most powerful thing young students with neither money nor power can do, is to do activism and use journalists and their cameras. When people learn about the problems and discuss them, things start to change."

"The picture of a naked girl is the most peaceful, but also the most unveiling image you can create, so it is very powerful. [...] We live in a patriarchal system where the is totally controlled and used. Women are ashamed of their bodies, and this is a deep problem. We are slaves of men because we do not control our sexuality."

"Im very happy about what we did, what we do, and what we will do. Thats why I again say to women from all over the world, and especially from Luxembourg: Lets be together, and lets fight together!"
