International Women’s Day 2016
Today is International Women’s day and this year we celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women. These photographs illustrate women the world over. I hope they challenge the idea that progress is largely brought about by men. We still have a long way to go before injustice based purely on a persons sex is eradicated. Each year new photographs are added to this International Women’s day blog.
