International Women’s Day

.

Women are more likely than men to be in vulnerable jobs, or to be unemployed, to lack social protection, and to have limited access to and control over financial resources. Women in both developed and developing countries are facing job cuts, lose of livelihoods, increased responsibilities in all areas of their life, and even an increased risk of violence.

PROEXPOSURE believes in putting power back into women’s hands – literally. For us, a camera is power.

For the female photographers we’ve trained in Ethiopia and Rwanda, life will never be the same again.

To mark International Women’s Day on 8th March 2011, PROEXPOSURE photographers Betelhem, Yenenesh, Freweini, Alem, Gisele and Grace tell what being a jobbing photographer means to them.
