If you're looking to be moved, inspired, and informed — all from the comfort of your screen — I Was Born a Girl is a virtual art exhibition you should not miss. Built by artists and activists Peppi Stünkel and Minna Pietarinen, this deeply resonant online gallery is a visual and emotional journey that speaks to the lived realities of women across the globe.

The exhibition aims to raise awareness about women’s rights and empower women of all ages and backgrounds. It’s free, open 24/7, and available in three languages; designed to be inclusive, accessible, and shareable across the world. What began as a resource for grassroots NGOs has now evolved into a global initiative, backed by influential partners like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland and UN Women Suomi.

One of the art pieces is a portrait of Malala Yousafzai. PIC/IWASBORNAGIRL.FI
