In April 2007, a group of men pulled seventeen-year-old Du’a Khalil Aswad into a mob. They proceeded to
stone and beat her to death, a supposed "honor" killing for allegedly falling in love with a man of a different faith.
Several camera phones recorded the entire incident from the front row, and videos later surfaced online. One
month later, popular filmmaker Joss Whedon expressed his despair and outrage at the misogyny in all cultures on
a fan-run blog. "Because it’s no longer enough to be a decent person," he wrote. "It’s no longer enough to shake
our heads and make concerned grimaces at the news. True enlightened activism is the only thing that can save
humanity from itself. I’ve always had a bent towards apocalyptic fiction, and I’m beginning to understand why. I
look and I see the earth in flames. Her face was nothing but red." The arts anthology Nothing But Red was
conceived as a way to raise both awareness of the issues he spoke of, as well as money for the charity Equality
Now.

"Nothing But Red, while sometimes dark and horrifying, is an extremely powerful and exceptional piece
of work....There is hope contained within the pages of this very eloquent book just as I believe that
there is hope for women of the world. The fact that this book even exists is, to me, is definite proof of
that."
