An Artist Created A Series Of Illustrations To Help End Victim Blaming In The World

Seriously, it needs to end already.

Sometimes, our society gets things right, while other times it gets things very, very wrong. Luckily, there are people like Polish artist Kati Babis who are helping end the stigma against mental illness, as well as destroying the harmful myths surrounding gender and identity.

Babis created a series of illustrations covering various topics. She was sure to include how society typically tends to treat mental illness and gender stereotypes, and then explained why that way of thinking is 100% inaccurate.

When asked what inspired this project, Babis told MTV News, "The world around me [inspired me]. Especially in Poland — we have a huge problem with victim blaming. Lots of my friends experience such situations in their [lives] and I wanted to help them. I wanted to turn my social media popularity into something meaningful. I think it's really, really important to know you're not alone with your problem."

We couldn't agree more.
