Cultural/Context information for the jury.

When the Taliban invaded Northern Pakistan, they banned girls from attending school, often resorting to violence to enforce edicts. Opposition was punished by execution, yet brave schoolgirls such as Malala Yousufzai, Shazia Ramzan and Kainat Riaz fought back by continuing to go to school. And in 2012, they were shot for it. Fortunately, all three girls survived their injuries, and continued to speak up for education. To honor their fight, and to tell their story, the brief was to create a book cover and design for their biography. The objective was not only to inspire and motivate Pakistani girls to go to school regardless of hurdles, but to do it in a manner that exemplified the three girls' strength. The production budget was minimal, and was planned to be recovered through sales. The limited-edition releases are designed to also raise funds for schools in NorthernPakistan.
