15 August 2021, Kabul (Afghanistan): the Taliban are back in power twenty years after their fall. Since then, girls are deprived of schooling beyond the sixth grade, women are totally excluded from the public sphere, their fundamental rights are systematically violated and any demonstration is harshly repressed.
16 September 2022, Tehran (Iran): At the age of 22, the Iranian Kurdish student Mahsa Amini dies after being arrested by the morality police for “wearing inappropriate clothing”. Since then, the whole of Iran, with women in the lead, has been shaken by an unprecedented protest movement, despite the ferocious repression of the authorities.
We will look back at the courageous struggle of these Afghan and Iranian women with :
– Shakiba Dawod, Afghan “artivist”, feminist activist
– Sana Hosseinpour, Iranian press cartoonist
– Farid Vahid, Director of the Observatory of North Africa and the Middle East, Jean Jaurès Foundation
Moderation: Amandine Clavaud, Director of the Observatory of Gender Equality of the Jean Jaurès Foundation
Meeting illustrated by Cartooning for Peace drawings

“Draw me Gender Equality” is an educational exhibition created in 2022 by Cartooning for Peace and available from 2023 to education professionals. It is presented for the first time at the Centre Paris Anim’ Jacques Bravo.
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.
Ghada Hatem, gynaecologist and obstetrician, founder of the Maison des Femmes de Saint-Denis, is the editor of the exhibition texts.

In 2017, the #MeToo movement called for the liberation of the voice of victims of sexual harassment. Millions of women from all over the world spoke with one voice to testify about the abuse they had suffered. Although our society seems to be engaged in a necessary reflection on the status of women, with equality between women and men as a goal, respect for the rights of each woman is still far from being guaranteed. In France as in the four corners of the globe.
Composed of 30 press cartoons from all over the world (and in particular from Europe), it looks back at women’s rights after #MeToo. While participating in the denunciation of injunctions, inequalities and violence against women, it offers a plurality of views and supports, with humour, impertinence and the strength of the drawing, the feminist struggles and their determining stakes.
The Centre Paris Anim’ Jacques Bravo is open from Monday to Saturday from 10am to 8pm.
Event organised in the framework of the “Cartooning for Women” programme supported by AFD – Agence française de développement (French development agency).
