Comic artists unite to protest violence against women
Following the recent death of Sarah Everard, comic artists from Bristol and across the UK have created a collaborative protest e-zine to raise money for the charity Housing for Women.
Listen to your Daughters, Educate your Sons is a collection of stories poignantly and powerfully provide insight into either the artists’ individual experiences of or commentary on, violence against women.
“We wanted to create something that connects with readers and helps facilitate change, whether on an individual level or by initiating wider conversations,” said editor Alexandra Lewis.

Laura Elliott, who also edited the magazine, added: “The benefit of using comics in this way is that they can provide an ideal structure for tackling complex topics, making them accessible to a wider audience.”

The e-zine can be downloaded via Just Giving, where the donations are sent to Housing for Women to support their work in providing safe houses for women and gender-specific support services.
