Women Photograph illustrate human rights through the lens of young women photojournalists
10 December 2019
This Human Rights Day (10 December), the award-winning organization Women Photograph and UN Human Rights have joined forces to showcase a selection of photos, taken by Women Photographers under the age of 27.
Wide-ranging issues – such as gender-based violence, labor, health, environment, and more – are poignantly captured by these young photojournalists. Visit our Instagram page daily until 31 December and take a look at their extraordinary photos.
Women Photograph was launched in 2017 to promote the work of women and non-binary photojournalists. UN Human Rights commends its efforts to promote gender equality, by helping female visual journalists address obstacles in photojournalism.
