Graphic storytelling lends itself particularly well to humanize migration stories, says Eva Hilhorst, a graphic journalist and editor-in-chief of Drawing the Times, a new platform for graphics journalism. "It enables us to show that migrants and refugees are people like you and me, and not just numbers, or people that come over to benefit from the system," she told the World Editors Forum.
It provides a unique way to go beyond statistics by telling individual stories, such as the story of a Nigerian woman who was tricked into moving to the UK for work, but then forced into sexual slavery.
