Behind the Lines

Amani Al-Ali, the first female cartoonist in Idlib, Syria, draws the life of her town, a bastion of jihadist groups that are attempting to overthrow President Assad since 2011. Armed with her pen, she is struggling against Islamist authority and traditional patriarchy. But for how much longer will she have the strength to keep fighting, among the ruins of her town?

Behind the Lines is part of the Draw for Change project, a television series about female cartoonists who are using their drawings to empower women and fight for gender equality.
