The World Press Photo Foundation and the Kingdom of the Netherlands present Resilience – stories of women inspiring change. The exhibition showcases a selection of stories, awarded in the World Press Photo Contests from 2000 to 2021, that highlight the resilience and challenges of women, girls and communities around the world.
Multiple voices, documented by 17 photographers of 13 different nationalities, offer insights into issues including sexism, gender-based violence, reproductive rights, and access to equal opportunities. The selection of stories explores how women and gender issues have evolved in the 21st century and how photojournalism has developed in the ways of portraying them.
The exhibition coincides with the United Nations’ Orange the World Campaign, a world-wide campaign to end violence against women.
