Survivors of violence tell their stories through doodle art

Radio and TV personality Sarimah Ibrahim with some of the artists who will illustrate survivor stories into doodle art in the Women’s Centre for Change Penang's My Story, My Strength: Doodle for Change project.

To  mark their 30th anniversary, the Women’s Centre for Change (WCC) in Penang recently launched the My Story, My Strength: Doodle for Change, a project to document personal stories of survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse from all over Malaysia and translate them into works of art – specifically doodle art.

By encouraging survivors to share their untold stories of violence and then illustrating these stories through art, WCC hopes to enable survivors to break their silence and start to heal.
