Each day young people are saturated with images of disaster. Scorched landscapes, images of human rights violations, executions. And with every image, they build an immunity to tragedy.
Doh Hlay has partnered with an artist to develop comic series, where the images are a different kind of graphic: fun, light-hearted and beautiful. The comic series depict the daily lives of young people, explaining what human rights are and giving Myanmar youth a language to talk about these issues.
We hope that these comic series will help people better understand human rights issues by relating to the characters. The characters portrayed are not statistics; they are your daughter, your mother, your father, your friend. They are human.
