The Girls’ Book is a series of comic strips created by ten young artists, illustrating 12 (real) stories about abuse in the “gray area” – female students in front of whom male teachers make inappropriate jokes, girls followed to the stairwell, relatives with improper behavior – which often go unnoticed but leave deep marks.

The book serves as the foundation for a workshop designed to discuss with teenagers about personal boundaries, abuse they can detect, and the legal steps they can take to take action to stop it.

It has been printed and sent to teachers who will hold workshops in their classes on this subject, using materials from the book and training facilitated by our team. Workshops through which students can better understand the situation of abuse in Romania will take place in the upcoming period.
