‘Girls Protection and Empowerment Curriculum’ Illustrated by Shirley Hottier

Published on 15/12/2022

Illo Agency’s Shirley Hottier was recently commissioned by Hannah Newth at Save The Children, to create Illustrations for a ‘Girls Protection and Empowerment Curriculum’, a manual for use in their Girls’ Clubs.

This specific manual was a 3 part manual for staff running the Girls’ Clubs. Here are a few of the illustrations Shirley drew to empower the next generation of women. She created these along with front covers and full and half-page illustrations for the start of each module and sub-module.

The girls attending these clubs are usually in situations of migration or displacement worldwide. The aim of the module is so girls to gain increased knowledge and awareness of gender equality and their rights to be treated fairly. It also aims to give girls a chance to develop a positive identity and recognize how they can use their strengths to defend their rights. This is important and unforgettable work by Shirley Hottier and Save the Children, who are reaching for a brighter future.

The ITSme Society is a collective of top creative agencies that represent award-winning talent worldwide. The ITSme Society agencies represent illustrators and writers across 7 agencies: Advocate Art, Astound US Inc, Illo Agency, Artistique, Yeon, CWLA, and Collaborate.
