These are three women's activists, Rada Boric of the former Yugoslavia (Croatia),
Danijela Dugandzic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Sandra Ljubinkovice of Serbia.
They have been working with V-Day and with performances of The Vagina Monologue and say
they are creating a vagina triangle of power in their part of the world.
Danijela, at center, said she wears the T-shirt that says "This is what a feminist looks like"
to help dispel stereotypes. She said others in her country wore the shirts
and showed that feminists come in all shapes, sizes, and looks.
