The stories in Cypher: Issue 5 have been published during 2020 United Nation's 16-Day Campaign for Domestic Abuse. The UN System’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence activities spans from November 25th to December 10th. I was commissioned to depict the stories of several Moldovan women affected by domestic abuse and the involvement of nonprofits and counseling work that helped rehabilitate them. I was adopted from Moldova, one of the poorest countries in Eastern Europe. While I am relatively removed from Moldovan culture, my ethnicity is something I am very proud of and it was exciting to be asked to create work that is close to my heart in some way. I will be sharing more snippets from this comic over the course of the rest of the campaign. @cypher_comics // @frontlinedefenders ❤️ 🔹Read Now 📖: www.frontlinedefenders.org/cypher 🔸Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cypher_comics
