8 March to 25 November 2023
On the occasion of International Women’s Rights Day, celebrated every year on 8 March, Cartooning for Peace invites you to participate in the #cartooningforwomen campaign.
#cartooningforwomen: what is it?
It is a campaign of press cartoons initiated by Cartooning for Peace and its network of cartoonists for several years in favour of gender equality.
#CartoonYouthChallenge: what is it?
It is a unifying campaign that brings together young people from all over the world around press cartoons. The challenge invites young people to express themselves on a theme, through drawing, and to commit themselves to a better world.
In 2023, we encourage young people around the world to use these hashtags to make their voices heard through this campaign.
Theme: Gender equality
Your cartoon can deal with gender discrimination, tell a story, support a cause you want to defend related to this theme, propose solutions to achieve gender equality…
It’s up to you to draw it!
Why take part?
Gender equality concerns everyone! By participating in this campaign, you share your point of view, you feed a common reflection and you exchange with young people from all over the world.
Draw your ideas, experiences, issues and share your vision of gender equality…
