If you're looking to be moved, inspired, and informed — all from the comfort of your screen — I Was Born a Girl is a virtual art exhibition you should not miss. Built by artists and activists Peppi Stünkel and Minna Pietarinen, this deeply resonant online gallery is a visual and emotional journey that speaks to the lived realities of women across the globe.
The exhibition aims to raise awareness about women’s rights and empower women of all ages and backgrounds. It’s free, open 24/7, and available in three languages; designed to be inclusive, accessible, and shareable across the world. What began as a resource for grassroots NGOs has now evolved into a global initiative, backed by influential partners like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland and UN Women Suomi.

Aligned with the UN Generation Equality theme “Technology and innovations for equality,” this exhibition is particularly effective in connecting with younger audiences by meeting them where they already are — online. Each piece invites empathy and underscores the collective responsibility we all share in achieving Sustainable Development Goal #5: Gender Equality. This isn’t just an art show, it’s a movement reminding women they’re not alone, and calling everyone to participate in creating a more just, equal world.
Whether you’re an activist, an educator, or simply someone curious to engage more deeply with global gender issues, I Was Born a Girl is a timely and necessary visit.
