Didillon makes pilgrimage against female genital mutilation - contributions for ai - Christophe Didillon (35) plans to make a 500-mile pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago in Spain. The painter pickes out a very serious theme as motive for his pilgrimage; a theme, which concerns everybody in society. The main object of his pilgrimage is the collection of altogether 1 Million US-$ in charities for amnesty international (ai) and its fight for the rights of cultural und religious suppressed women in the Third World and elsewhere. This “donation pilgrimage” is the way for the idealistic artist to protest against all forms of suppressing, torturing, mutilating and murdering of courageous women and girls, which fight for their human right of equality and freedom, because all these cruelties against women still happen in our today-world, frequently in Third World countries, where men and society in the names of religion, tradition and wrong senses of honour discriminate against women. Didillon uses clear words for the motives of his idealism: “I am deeply worried! When I bear in my mind all the brutality against women and realize the hypocritical “justification” of their violators, is my sense of justice so deeply pained and hurt that I am on the verge of tears.
