Statue Appeal

0816-statueappeal.jpg

In Sweden only 1 out of 10 statues are commemorating women.  A Swedish magazine called Amelia has started a Statue Appeal campaign to change this.  They have began placing pink pearl necklaces on male statues around the country.  Their website also gives instructions on how to make the necklaces and encourages people to place them on statues in their own towns and upload the photos to the Amelia website.  The campaign also includes 20 great Swedish women who they have nominated to receive statues.  (Found through the David Report).
