Young Moroccan cartoonist Zainab Fasiki draws on a whiteboard in a Casablanca studio where she is holding a workshop that mixes art with a homegrown illustrated #MeToo campaign. Unlike in the broader #MeToo movement, the Moroccan women who have agreed to share their stories for the campaign have preferred to remain anonymous. The participants in the Casablanca workshop are looking for creative comebacks to some of the toxic reactions the campaign has elicited. Around a dozen students and professionals gathered for an art workshop with Fasiki, a pioneer in comics and illustration, in response to a web series titled #TaAnaMeToo. She is pushing through her illustrations for "changes to laws written by men, for men, to control women's bodies", she adds.
