"With this Summer 2024 Photo Challenge for European desicion makers I wanted to encourage European parlament and national parlament representatives to discuss about important topics like gender equality and body positivity regardless of gender or age. Personally, appearing in a swimsuit has always been connected to a story that comes from my childhood – a situation that required a lot of courage from a small child. In my freetime I enjoy much swimming and beach life, but a scar like this is not always so pleasant to have. As a child and teenager I wished many times that I would not have such a visible scar, because I felt it can identify me quite strongly. As an adult I have also had to return to think this topic, because already as a child large number of people from different backrounds, cultures and ages saw me with the scar."
