WAWE announces a competition for creative works promoting women's rights

 
WAWE is a European network of women's organizations whose activities are aimed at eliminating violence against women and children. Established in 1994, it currently consists of over 150 member organizations.
 
"Campaign Step Up!" is a pan-European campaign of the WAVE network that supports efforts to end violence against women, raise awareness of the issue and protect victims of violence against women and girls.
 
For the third year in a row, we are looking for a special artistic motif to be printed on our bags. If you are a graphic artist who is passionate about creating socially significant art and tries to initiate positive changes in society, we invite you to take part in our competition!
 
We ask you to imagine and present your vision and interpretation of an inspiring woman, a moment in her everyday life, her heroic moments... anything that you find inspiring in a woman's life for artistic reflection!
