#saveafghanwomen
Inspired by the #saveafghanwomen campaign launched by We Restart and Nove Caring Humans in 2021, this illustration is a call to action against the systematic denial of women's rights in Afghanistan.
Rebecca De Filippi created the artwork in response to the severe restrictions imposed on Afghan women and girls, recognising that the denial of their rights extends far beyond individual freedoms. It represents an attack on dignity, equality, education, work, and participation in society.
For Rebecca, creativity is not only a form of expression but also a form of advocacy. Through illustration, she transforms solidarity into a visual statement, reminding us that silence in the face of injustice allows discrimination to persist. #saveafghanwomen gives a face to a collective demand: that Afghan women are seen, heard, protected, and never forgotten.
Rebecca De Filippi is an illustrator and graphic designer whose work combines visual communication with social engagement.

Her collaboration with Nove Caring Humans reflects her commitment to using illustration as a powerful tool for advocacy, giving visibility to communities whose voices are too often silenced.
The artwork stands in solidarity with Afghan women and girls, affirming that equality, dignity, and freedom are universal rights that must be protected everywhere.
