Cover The Interpersonally Happy by JabLab

What do you do to reduce violence against women? 

A woman who was heavily involved in the fight against domestic violence asked me that question. I felt indirectly accused and I had no good answer to give her. The question I got was, and still is justified. Domestic violence is a major social problem surrounded with a lot of guilt and shame.
 This book will not reduce men's violence against women. But our hope is that it can draw attention to what we – social human beings – are constantly seeking, namely a good relation. The initiative in creating the book is mine, but the result depends on the amazing artists who chose to get involved in the project. The artistic contributions come from different places and cultures of our blue Planet.


All proceeds from the book will go to the Swedish women's shelters.
 This book is a tribute to the people who help abused women to regain hope and dignity.

The book turned out beautiful, harmonious.. :sun:
It feels like the images belong there in the first place,
you had to retrieve them from all over the Globe..

it's one of my proudest creativity related and dA moments to have been included!

congratulations to you and all who worked on this project! :)
