Having Trouble Explaining Oppression? This Comic Can Do It for You

(Content Warning: anti-black racism, ableism, fat shaming, anti-Muslim rhetoric, anti-queer rhetoric)

How can we understand oppression, and what we can do to put a stop to it? Here’s a comic that makes a great foundation for the conversation.

This breaks down the difference between prejudice, discrimination, and oppression – with examples of exactly how they can show up in our lives.

And the best part is that it shows that things don’t have to be this way. You can also find out how to address these issues in our activism and our everyday lives.

Here’s to moving toward a better world where we can all understand these issues, and how to build healthier cycles!

With Love,
The Editors at Everyday Feminism
