Can you think of a better medium to convey important violence prevention messages than stick figures?
I created some violence prevention bulletin board material for our residence halls and needed something visual. We have the MAC social media campaign posters, but I needed a way to create different scenarios showing people challenging inappropriate language, attitudes and behaviors. I really enjoy the look of the MAC posters, but they only cover three vague situations.
Hopefully, this will be a way to get people to stop and read the material. I’ve created scenarios addressing the usage of the words fag, whore and rape; how to support a survivor; challenging victim blaming, violent words for sex, and how to respond to an unfunny or offensive joke. If you have any ideas for scenarios or feedback, leave a comment below!

I love it. I love anything with stick people in it to be honest, because stick people are awesome (and the only way I can draw too). It also means that you can get a point across using humour because anything with stick people encourages humour. It’s short, it’s simple and I really like what you’ve done.
Thanks! I am going to try and post about one a week on our website. http://www.mensantiviolencecouncil.com
I don’t know how long I will be able to keep that up once the semester starts, but I’ll give it a shot! Thanks again!
