Freemuse will mark #HumanRightsDay and the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—on 10 December 2018—by spotlighting seven statistics from our newly released report 'Creativity Wronged: How women’s right to artistic freedom is denied and marginalised'. #standup4humanrights

6. Art forms
In January 2018, UK student artist, Megan Angus created an art work depicting women holding hands, kissing and some partial nudity. ‘Censored’ stickers were used to cover the images by the Laurence Jackson School in Guisborough, England. The school later apologised for what Angus described as a “homophobic” act, but insisted that “sexually explicit” images are usually censored.

5. Rationales
In March 2018, Bolivian artist Rilda Paco faced public outcry and received death threats over her painting depicting the Virgin of Socavon in red underwear and black stockings surrounded by people in colorful costumes dancing with alcohol bottles in their hands. According to the artist, her intention was to create a painting as a form of protest against the objectification of women in Bolivia. The artist was reportedly declared persona non grata by authorities in Oruro, and thus officially regarded as a public enemy.

“I have not committed any crime; I am not a murderer; I am not a violator; I have not beaten anyone,” Paco said.

4. Digital space
Censorship by social media platforms is often seen under the guise of ‘nudity’ when women’s nipples are displayed online. Freemuse experienced this when attempting to post an image from Icelandic artist Borghildur Indriðadóttir’s 'DEMONCRAZY – Drosophila' artistic performance.

Indriðadóttir had already been censored on Facebook in June 2018 when over 1500 of her Facebook friends disappeared and some of her personal pictures, likes and comments were deleted after sharing a promotional video for 'DEMONCRAZY'.

3. Main violators in severe cases
Incensed by the possible introduction of new regulations that would severely curtail women’s reproductive rights and reverse family planning laws in Iran, artist Atena Farghadani drew a cartoon depicting members of the Iranian Parliament as animals. In response, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps arrested her in August 2014.

Farghadani was released on bail after two months and then posted a video online about her treatment in detention, which led to her rearrest and subsequent sentencing to 12 years and nine months in prison for “gathering and colluding against national security”, “spreading propaganda against the system”, “insulting members of parliament through paintings” and “insulting her interrogators”.

In 2016, under strong international pressure, an appeals court in Tehran reduced her sentence. She was released from prison on 3 May 2016. ... See MoreSee Less

2. Severe violations
In February 2018 theatre actor Sumbul Khan was killed by three men in Pakistan who shot and killed her after she refused to perform for them at a private event in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

In April 2018, Pakistani singer Samina Samoon (also known as Samina Sindhu), was shot by a male fan for refusing to stand and dance whilst performing at a wedding ceremony in the Sindh province. She was pregnant at the time.

1. Censorship
In April 2018, the Kenya Film Classification Board refused to approve the release of 'Rafiki', a film featuring a love story between two young women, “due to its homosexual theme and clear intent to promote lesbianism in Kenya contrary to the law”.
