Imagine a circus where every role is represented by a woman and every woman has a hidden story to tell. The women in this circus want to tell you about some of the accomplishments, celebrations, and firsts for women in the last 100 or so years. Find the hidden numbers; find the symbolism; connect the allegory the role represents.

The Lion Tamer

The Lion Tamer sits relaxed in her chair, having already tamed the chaotic danger in her world. United Nations Resolution 1325 affirms the important role women play in preventing conflicts, resolving conflicts, negotiating peace, building and keeping peace, humanitarian responses, and post-conflict reconstructions. It states that women should participate equally and fully in all efforts related to maintaining and promoting peace and security. Peace ☮️ ✌️🕊️
