<p>Today, Nov 25, is the International Day for Elimination of All Forms of Violence Against Women, as was beautifully written by <a href="http://cafethawra.blogspot.com/2010/11/white-ribbon-day-25th-of-november.html?spref=tw" target="_blank">Cafe Thawra</a>. So I&#8217;d like to take this occasion to share with you a brochure I illustrated for <a href="http://www.kafa.org.lb/" target="_blank">KAFA &#8211; Enough Violence &amp; Explotation</a>, an NGO fighting all forms of violence against women. It specifically is about their Listening and Counseling Center. It is currently being printed and will be distributed soon! Here are some snippets.</p>
