Haolai Francis Zhou's powerful poster design tackles the issue of women's rights, urging them not to remain silent in the face of adversity. The concept emphasizes the importance of raising their voices and encourages the public to take a stand.

The design's unique strength lies in its ability to communicate a powerful message effectively, catching the audience's attention and delivering a straightforward call to action.
