12th INTERNATIONAL DON QUICHOTTE CARTOON CONTEST’2020
Theme: Say NO to "violence against Women!"
We are taking on another global societal issue after covering child
marriages. “Violence against Women” will be the theme of 12th Don Quichotte
Caricature Contest.
Violenst against women and childs is one of the most widespread violations
of human rights. Some national studies show that up to 70% of women have
experienced physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime from an intimate
partner. To raise awareness and trigger action to end this global scourge, the
UNobserves International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on
25 November.
Unfortunately, violence against women and girls is deep-rooted in our
societies and the international observance serves as a symbol of resistance as
well as a call to action to eliminate gendered physical, economic and
psychological violence. Violence against Women has been increasing in emerging
countries. Femicide-killing women because of their gender-is a longstanding
issue in the world. For example, there were 430 female homicides in 2019 alone
in Turkey. Although illegal, child marriage in Turkey remains also prevalent
along with countries such as India, Iran, Mexico, Ethiopia, Chad and Niger.
The purpose of this
contest is to bring global awareness to this issue through the lens of
caricaturists around the world and encourage solutions that will end this
social crisis.
