Some 66 million girls world-wide miss out on an education, and one of the biggest barriers they face is gender-based violence. Girls are especially vulnerable to rape, exploitation, coercion and discrimination. Plan International’s ‘Learn Without Fear’ campaign aims to end violence in schools.
I heard the stories of girls who had been victims of gender-based violence and created meaningful yet sensitive portraits of them whilst concealing their identities. To portray the stories visually that these girls shared with me I used actors to maintain their anonymity.
