On 13 May opened a Gender Equality Now! exhibition in Paris held in collaboration with La Poste at their headquarter offices.
The event marks the 125th time that the 100 winning posters were displayed in public since last 10 December premiere, which also took place in Paris.
In the last five months the posters travelled the world several times around, going from Argentina to Zimbabwe.
Although we seldom mention all these events as we don't like too much to boast about it, it seemed a good time to celebrate our most successful exhibition tour so far.
Pakistani elections press cuttings round-up
A year ago Will Georgi and Tommaso Minnetti, two of the project co-founders, were in Karachi for a Draw Me Democracy workshop. The people they met and the students they had the privilege of working with were truly inspirational.

News from Tunisia - Mediterranean Women and Democracy

The workshops focus on topics like democracy and gender equality and have been made possible thanks to the support of the Ile-de-France region.
Monthly Brief #2: A case study on El Alto, Bolivia
It took more than a month, but finally our second monthly brief instalment is out!
The issue we wanted to tackle this time is the right to adequate housing. It's a phenomenon that matters for its sheer numbers (900 million people around the world live in a slum) and because it shows no sign of slowing down, as people are still moving to cities looking for wealth and a better life, often finding none of either.
Rather than amassing some statistics, we thought we’d give you a local viewpoint. So we asked our friends Susana Machicao and Victor Hugo Ordoez Kock from La Paz, Bolivia to create...
