You have all heard about these city management games, the Sim City-like, where you embody a mayor, and are in charge of the development of housing, transports, public service, and so on…

Your first concern is always your inhabitants’ welfare.

Actually, this has been a great source of inspiration for Amnesty International…

For they made a pixel-art out of it :

The caption says : ” Destitution is a modern scourge. Destitution violates human rights. We demand dignity”.

By clicking on some parts of this picture, you will be given information about particular topics : refugees, discrimination, forced deportation, death penalty… (sorry it’s in French !)
