The infographic represents the work of feminist and social justice organizations in the Global South. Raising Voices is based in Uganda in East Africa. We would like there to be an activist vibe, lots of energy. We will use this to communicate the challenges of activist organizations to policy makers and donors. We prefer vibrant colors. We were thinking we might have to do multiple infographics but would much prefer it we could fit it all on one. See images below for rough sketches -- these are illustrative only! We hope a designer will be able to transform it into a fabulous infographic.
