Amnesty International Mexico and Colectivo Aliados SUMMONS Graphic designers, visual artists, illustrators, photographers, as well as the general public to manifest themselves in favour of women’s human Rights. Violence against women is the most common and pervasive atrocity against human dignity. Its daily occurrence, far from getting us used to it, should be understood as a human rights scandal. Very often, violence against women is carried out, perpetuated and concealed in homes, schools, workplaces, streets, media, public offices, courtrooms and legislative organisms. Our task is to make it visible so that it is condemned in all cultural and geographic contexts. Our goal: a world where all women enjoy all their rights … without exception! ACT! EXPRESS YOURSELF! Make a postcard for them! Denounce violence against women! Demand respect and gender equality! Terms and conditions: 1. Send all your creations to: newcall@colectivoaliados.org before November 15 2.
