SUPPORT WOMEN AND GIRLS THIS #IWD WITH EXCLUSIVE NEW ARTWORK
To mark this International Women’s Day, we’ve teamed up with renowned artist Raz Xaidan, AKA the Darling Beast, to create an empowering new print which will fund literacy classes for the vulnerable women and girls we support.
The stunning artwork, called Rise, highlights the importance of literacy in every female’s life. Each £20 donation will provide you with a high-quality digital download of this exclusive print – and fund three months of our literacy classes for one female conflict survivor. A limited number of physical prints are also available on Raz’s site.
Your donation will provide a vulnerable woman or girl on the course with a literacy trainer, along with stationery, curriculum books and refreshments. Equally importantly, the course offers participants a safe and supportive environment for learning at our women’s centres, and enables them to bond and heal together.
Londoner Raz, who is based in Kurdistan, uses her emotive art and photography to empower female voices and creativity. Her work as the Darling Beast explores the meeting of time, identity, resistance and cultural surrealism, and has been exhibited all over the world.
She says: “I’m proud to be partnering with the Lotus Flower through my art. They are doing incredible work in supporting women and girl survivors, and these literacy classes are vital in giving them a chance to learn, grow and thrive.”
