Hello AoIR people, I am happy to share with you our *comic “Code of Courage,” which deals with the digital security of activists*. The aim is to better understand digital risks and to get some initial ideas on how to better protect yourself online, for example during protests, cell phone checks, or internet shutdowns. The comic is currently available in German, English, and Spanish and can be used freely and shared with others. Soon, we'll hopefully also have a burmese version. You can download the comic for free on our website: https://peasec.de/2025/comic/

*Comic description: * Safety is paramount: online and offline: Alex, Sarah, Maria, and Daniel are four friends who are passionate about human rights—in a country struggling with increasing authoritarianism. Their efforts to organize and amplify their message through social media are met with constant obstacles: internet shutdowns, hacked accounts, direct threats, and constant surveillance—tactics designed to silence dissent and spread fear. Daniel's arrest for his involvement in the protests is a stark reminder of the dangers they all face. Join Maria as she learns more about digital security—and what it means for activists—in four short comic stories. Spread the word!
