With expressive drawings, the Egyptian caricaturist Doaa El-Adl casts light on to the situation of many women around the world. From the perspective of a political cartoonist, she aptly illustrates how social norms, traditions and even laws shape the lives, self-determination and freedom of women in a dramatic way. Doaa El-Adl draws for women, not about them. Her spot-on drawings report, move and touch the viewer. I empower women through my art. Not just because I am a woman, I always tend to empower the party that is being weakened. (Doaa El-Adl)
