Let me hear your voice, Pink-OUT!

"Let me hear your voice” Pink-OUT!

Seoul Y had ‘Pink-out business agreement’ to strengthen women’s empowerment in 28^th, August.

The Pink-Out project is the project in response to physical, mental and verbal violence and social discrimination of the socially disadvantaged women.

It's aimed at turning the world into pink by helping them to speak their voice themselves.

It provides internal healing and empowerment opportunities for women who exposed to violence and discrimination, especially those exposed to cultural and economic isolation.

Earlier this year, Mary Kay released its social contribution product "Gel Semi-Matt Lipstick powerful Pink." and part of the profits was donated to Seoul YWCA for the Pink Out project.

This lipstick was developed with the concept "Paint your life pink."It contains hopes and wishes for an alien woman to paint her life pink again through 'Pink Out.'

First, from the second half of this year, Seoul YWCA will focus on campaigning against violence and discrimination against women. We expect this will lead to civic engagement and awareness change.

Please support them to live with confidence and love in their life. J

These transgenic methods for moving genes around are also called “genetic engineering,” or GE. This relatively new science allows DNA (genetic material) from one species to be transferred into another species, creating transgenic organisms with combinations of genes from plants, animals, bacteria, and even viral gene pools. The mixing of genes from different species that have never shared genes in the past is what makes GMOs and GE crops so unique. It is impossible to create such transgenic organisms through traditional crossbreeding methods. In South Korea, labeling GMO law is not enacted yet, so many citizens don't care about what GMO i...
