Cool graffiti for a social cause in Bucharest, on Arthur Verona street

You realise how being on Steemit starts to shape the way you look at the world when on the way to meeting a friend you stop and look around for cool things so you can take pictures and share them later with your fellow Steemians.

I've just realised this today, when I left earlier for the meeting with my friend, because I wanted to have time to wander around a bit and take some cool photos for you.

When I left home, I had in mind to show you the beautiful tea-house where I was going. But on the way there, I paid attention to what was around me and I suddenly saw these graffitis.

I felt like it was screaming:

"Pick me, choose me, forget about the tea house, Steemit will like us more!" :)

So I stopped and took a few pictures.

This is the first one that drew my attention:

Translated:

"I felt nothing".

So I became curious. What does it mean?

Next to this one, there was this other one, all text, from where I started to understand what this project is about:

Let me translate it for you:

"This "Safe Space" graffiti is part of the "In a Relationship" project, a research made for and together with teens about their first relationships. This is a project of the Friends for Friends Foundation, part of the Respect Campaign, an Avon initiative against domestic violence."

So this is part of CSR campaign to help raise awareness and prevent domestic violence. I don't have any stats at hand, but I know that violence in families is still a big issue in Romania.

This is one of the hidden, dark sides of our culture, that need to be taken outside, into the light so we can start healing them.

Here are the other parts of the graffiti, fortunately the rest of the text is in English :)

And another one:

I don't have any other details about this project, but I am grateful we have initiatives like this one that are expressed in such creative and colourful ways.

And I'm grateful I stopped by to take a closer look and understand the story behind the drawings: domestic violence, a sad but true situation that needs healing.

So that was it for today's post from the #challenge30days.

If you enjoyed it, remember to show some love, which ever way you prefer: comment, upvote or resteem :)

Thank you and steem on!
