Shehzil Malik is a Pakistani graphic designer and illustrator based in Lahore.

Her work focuses on issues such as gender discrimination and beauty ideals.

Malik began producing feminist graphics as a form of "catharsis."

Malik said she had felt compelled to try everything -- including various toxic concoctions -- to meet a beauty standard that regards lighter skin as more desirable.

Malik believes that her images have proven popular because they narrate a collective trauma.

Her work features hijabi bikers and tattooed women.
