Cartooning for Peace / 8 March: Women’s Rights Day

8 March: Women’s Rights Day

Draw me Gender Equality

For Women’s Rights Day, celebrated on the 8th of March, (re)discover Cartooning for Peace’s educational exhibition created in January 2023: “Draw me Gender Equality”.

Illustrated with press cartoons from all over the world, this exhibition retraces, with humour and commitment, the journey of a lifetime: from birth to old age, it addresses the challenges and persistent problems of gender inequality and shows the long struggle of women for equal rights.

Accompanied by an educational booklet, the exhibition is composed of 1 introductory panel followed by 11 thematic panels:

  • Good in its gender
  • Education for all!
  • Your body, your choices, your rights!
  • A job for your gender?
  • (Un)Equal pay
  • Religions, traditions and freedoms
  • Stop harassment!
  • Stop domestic violence!
  • Sexism on all levels!
  • Suffering to stay young
  • Equality: the fight continues!

Ghada Hatem, gynaecologist-obstetrician, founder of the Maison des Femmes de Saint-Denis, is the editor of the exhibition texts.

 

Cartooning for Women

In 2022, Cartooning for Peace also created a mainstream exhibition : “Cartooning for Women”.

Comprising 30 press cartoons from around the world (and Europe in particular), this exhibition looks back at women’s rights after #MeToo. As well as denouncing the injunctions, inequalities and violence against women, it offers a range of viewpoints and, with the humour, impertinence and strength of cartoons, supports the feminist struggle and the crucial issues at stake.
