Milestone Initiative for Human Rights and Empowerment (MIHRE) celebrated World Creativity and Innovation Day by organizing a painting session for Women Who Use and Inject Drugs (WWUID).
It started out with a brief talk by the psychologist , who highlighted the significance of creativity and innovation in today’s rapidly evolving world.
The painting session gave WWUIDs a platform to express themselves creatively, even for those who may not consider themselves creative. Each artwork focused on the theme of Gender-Based Violence, every piece symbolized the act of speaking out to protect and uphold their rights especially as female drug users.
It was a fun session as WWUIDs painted together, shared stories and laughter, engage in meaningful conversations, build connections, and inspired new ideas.
Engaging in art forms like painting, drawing, sculpting, dancing, writing, or photography can be therapeutic. Art helps express emotions, reduces stress, and promotes mental well-being.
By creating, you can process feelings, gain insight, and find peace, improving your mental health and overall sense of well-being.
Art heals!
