I think the map of women’s physical secuirty is very interesting to me and I’d like to see more data on that! I’m surprised this is still such a big issue in 2025 and that Algeria has not done much to fix it. I would fix the spacing of certain text and pictures, as some things are difficult to read due to spacing.
I really liked the imagery of your infographic and how it is a newspaper since it’s uncommon to have the first page of a newspaper be on domestic violence against woman. The story in the very beginning is very impactful about the woman who got murdered by her spouse. For a situation like that to be common is revolting. The traditional gender norm roles you described about woman being financial dependent on men is truly devasting. I love the awareness you are bringing especially since I was not aware there was a law in Algeria call New Law 2015 that imprisoned men who were found guilty of killing their spouses. The lack of support and resources to get out of this apparent generational trauma goes to show how conformed the woman of Algeria have become to the abuse. Why don’t the families support victims when wanting to get out of abusive relationships if they are aware of the consequences that could happen?
What surprised me about learning about this country was how since the beginning of 2020 over 50 women in Algeria have been victims of femicide. The best part of the infographic was the information regarding women’s physical security as of 2011. The different levels across the world puts into perspective why there is such an ongoing problem with women’s safety globally. Great job.
Something that I learned about Algeria is that the New Law 2015 provides imprisonment to those who kill their spouses, I had never heard of this law. The best part of this infographic is the layout, I love the newspaper vibe. The only feedback I have is that the infographic is amazing, great job!
1) this topic was my favorite to learn about I thought it was one of the most interesting topics that could of been talked about and most importantly advocate for. I was struck to learn the percentage of women who’s voice has been stripped and was unaware how high the percent was of this happening to.
2) The best part of this infographic is the story that this tells and how detailed the important facts are with photos and numbers.
3) My only feedback is that I am glad you made adjustments with the photos and how you were pushing out the information as it feels more easy to read and understand and really hits the point across with the layout.
Hello Mia! This infographic is so pleasing to the eye and I love how organized and well structured it is. Often we are aware of our own politics but when we look at international politics and laws passes we don’t imaging the real impact they have on people who live there. I love how your infographic talks on not only are women facing societal pressures in the cases of domestic violence, but it’s cultural norms that are passed on through generations. I especially love the comparison between USA law and Algerian law, my only critique would be to include a few more sources but over a very nice infographic.
Impressive work, your opening claim instantly hooks you and pulls you into the article. As you read—you cannot let go. You keep reading, finding out more and more and then you see the map and the realization of how much women’s security issues of abuse is going on in the world and you are taken aback.
It seems like this is a worldwide issue and it needs to come to a stop. Whatever the Europeans are doing should be applied to the rest of the world.
Do you know what some of the physical security protections that are in place in Europe and not being applied to the rest of the world are?
This infographic is heartbreaking but important. It really shows how deeply rooted domestic violence is in Algeria, not just in law but in culture and social expectations. The idea that women have little to no support from the state or even their families is devastating. I was especially struck by how economic dependence traps women in abusive homes. It’s a powerful reminder that change isn’t just about laws—it’s about shifting mindsets and providing real, reliable support for victims.
I was astonished to learn how deeply ingrained domestic abuse is in Algerian society, and how cultural norms make it even more difficult for women to seek assistance.
The finest aspect of this infographic was the side-by-side comparison of US and Algerian legislation. It helped me understand why many women feel stuck.
regarding input would be to update the physical security map with the most recent facts possible.
I did not know about Algeria’s laws which criminalizes domestic violence while this is a great start I enjoyed how the infographic explains that this doesn’t support women. It is unfortunate that there are not further laws to protect women however it is important to learn about women’s rights all over.
