On March 17, "Invisible" - a culturally sensitive and age-appropriate a comic book for girls and boys aged 13-16, jointly produced by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Georgia Country Office and the publishing house "Palitra L" with the support of the European Union, was launched at public school #1 in Akhaltsikhe.

The author of the comics is Marta Urushadze; the illustrations were created by Tatia Nadareishvili. The script was developed by Martha Urushadze and Mikheil Tsikhelashvili. 

“Invisible” is a story about a girl who is not afraid of difficulties and seems to be trying to change the unequal environment for the better through small, insignificant steps. This story will once again convince us that there is no obstacle in the world that friendship, love and justice cannot overcome.

The comic book is part of the campaign “Do not Differentiate: a Girl and a Boy are both your Future!“, through which the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) reminds everyone that both girls and boys are of equal value to their families, communities and countries.

The comic book was prepared within the frames of the programme “Addressing Gender-Biased Sex Selection and Related Harmful Practices in the South Caucasus” being implemented under the auspices of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and with the support of the European Union.
