Staying on the path of big issues, what if I did something with women's rights, or domestic abuse and assault, rape, sexual harassment, crimes against women. It is a global problem, and these are all issues that concern, well half of the world's population, perhaps a bit more than half. The event could be a gathering of sorts, women and men alike could gather and create something in remembrance or in dedication to or just to represent the women in their lives who have been affected by one of these crimes against women, and then these creations could be displayed for the day, or for a while, or if it were to become something that tours around they could be displayed all along the tour. So, while it is a gathering in order to create something for someone, giving victims of these crimes against women a voice, or some kind of representation, it would also be a displaying of how many other women have gone through this, which would not only show how huge these issues are, how many women are affected by them, but it would also allow the women who were coming to this event because they were affected themselves to not feel so alone, because a lot of times with these events women go through them alone, and they do not tell anyone out of shame, or fear, and so it is largely a lonely experience. And a lot of times, while it is not formal in anyway, being able to be around, see, even talk to women who have gone through the same traumatic experiences, can be somewhat of a therapeutic experience, allows you to realize that this is a global problem, it affects millions, and that you are not alone, allows you to move on. I think this would be positive for the community, for the women in the community, it would certainly create awareness around these topics, and I cannot see any community turning down this sort of event. I will work on the details, but I think this is good, this is good.

Okay, new idea
