Photo Gallery from the Field

Photographs from the Foundation's work, taken as the activities happened. These are the primary record of what we do and who we do it with.

Every photograph on this page was taken at a Women's Light Foundation activity by our own team. None is stock imagery, and none is staged after the fact.

Informed consent is obtained before publishing any identifiable image. Where a photograph includes a child, consent comes from both the child and their guardian, and no image is published that could identify a child's home or school. Survivors of gender-based violence are never photographed identifiably in connection with that programme.

Journalists, researchers and partners may request high-resolution versions of any image here by writing to contact@womenslight.org.
