TWENTY-six images symbolising women were displayed in Suva yesterday as part of International Women's Day celebrations.
Organised by the Fiji Women's Rights Movement, the innovative photography used 26 young girls to explore the day's theme — Women in decision-making: Meeting challenges, creating change.
Participants from different backgrounds took pictures.
The best image was enlarged, framed and launched by Ministry of Women chief executive Emele Duituturaga.
A picture by Salanieta Seruitamana was of a woman sitting with two cups begging on the street.
'The image caught my eyes because it shows the daily challenges women face. The woman in the picture has no other choice,' said the 23-year-old.
Luisa Nasau, 31, captured the image of a woman sewing clothes in a small room.
'The woman in the picture is a widow and sole breadwinner and sews to send her children to school."
