Client: All Women Count (AWC) | Role: Illustration
All Women Count (AWC) is a Global South consortium to address gender based violence (GBV) in the region. Led by CREA, its members include Arab Foundation for Freedoms and Equality (AFE), Association for Progressive Communications (APC) and UHAI-East Africa Sexual Health Initiative (UHAI-EASHRI). In 2020, AWC worked with communities that had experienced an exacerbated impact of vulnerability to various GBV through the pandemic and its surrounding state regulations.
As a culmination of the research, AWC collected stories of change highlighting the way these communities have organized and resisted especially in the current context. These stories were illustrated as part of the ‘Drawing Resistance and Resilience’ campaign.
I worked on visualising a story based in India and another in Sudan. I used a comic style format but broke some panel rules to frame the stories within the context of their realities.
