Short description

Poster For Tomorrow, project made by 4 Tomorrow Association , is pleased to announce 13th edition of its graphic design competition for social communication poster designs inviting all designers and design students from all over the world to partecipate.

This year the competition theme is “Stop killing women”, is now officially open for entries.

The competition’s aim is to promote graphic design as a tool for social change. The goal is to encourage people, both in and outside the design community, to make posters to stimulate debate on issues that affect us all. According to UN Women, 2022 was the year in which the most women were intentionally murdered to date: nearly 89,000. Of these ‘Around 48,800 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners or other family members (including fathers, mothers, uncles and brothers). This means that, on average, more than 133 women or girls are killed every day by someone in their own family.’

If it’s not bad enough that femicide is increasing, the real statistic is probably much higher: ‘for roughly four in ten intentional murders of women and girls, there is not enough information to identify them as gender-related killings because of national variation in criminal justice recording and investigation practices’.

This must change. So this year, we want to ask your help in drawing attention to all forms of violence against women: for the world to stop killing women.

Insight: Violence against women starts at home

Femicide is the most savage form of gender violence, but it is not the only kind. The two most common forms of violence that women suffer are physical and sexual violence, acts which are often committed in places where women should be safe, by men that they know.

According to the World Health Organisation, 26% of women have been subjected to physical or sexual violence by someone who they are in (or have been in) a relationship with. When it comes to femicide, in 2022 ‘around 48,800 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners or other family members (including fathers, mothers, uncles and brothers). This means that, on average, more than 133 women or girls are killed every day by someone in their own family.’ (UN Women).
