- In Quebec, there are more reports to the DYP than there are births each year.
- Currently, nearly 40,000 children in the province of Quebec are being cared for by the DYP.
- 388 reports to the DYP are made each day in Quebec. That’s the equivalent of 8 school buses.

Illustrator Anabel Roy uses her art to raise awareness of this raw, unbearable, and unrecognized reality. She presents a portrait of young people from the DYP in the form of cartoons.
