The Womenlead Logo is the woman sign superimposed by a brush stroke rendered "W", to represent Womenlead's engagement and critique of law that goes well beyond the legal arena and the confines of current "legal" concepts. "Law" is often the subject of Womenlead's critique in its reinforcement of women's subordination and as a standard by itself that categorizes women and sets limits on women's roles and opportunities in society. The logo was designed by Professor Romanlito S. Austria, University of the Philippines, College of Fine Arts in 2000) |
