M.A.L.I. | THE MACABRE DICTIONARY OF VIRGINITY TESTING

TBWA\RAAD

For Arab Women’s Day on February 1st, 2022, M.A.L.I. (Mouvement Alternatif pour les Libertés Individuelles) pursued its fight against sexual violence, launching a creative campaign that champions equality in sexual rights for girls and women across the MENA region.
