Looking back over everything I’ve worked on in 2019, and a podcast I made with @bmae87 that aired back in January about a group of Rohingya women fighting for justice definitely stands out. This woman is one of the members of the Shanti Mohila (Peace Women) who told us her story. https://giwps.georgetown.edu/seekingpeace/whywomen/ . . . . #podcast #listen #rohingya #refugees #everydayeverywhere #photography #onassignment #journalism #radio #capturestreets #fromstreetswithlove #streetphotography #capture #moment #travel #travelphotography #vsco #canon #instadaily #picoftheday #reportage #vscocam #canon80d #bangladesh #asia #photographer #photooftheday #women #womenempowermentmovement

One of the amazing contact tracers I worked with in #DRC. Every day Léa visits people who have been exposed to Ebola to check their temperature and ask about other symptoms. Because of rumours about #ebola and stigma, contact tracers like Léa often face resistance, and even violence. Despite all this Léa does everything with a huge smile on her face. She was working as a seamstress and tailor but joined the Ebola response when she saw her neighbours dying, and says she’ll continue to help until the Ebola outbreak is brought to an end. . . . . #everydayeverywhere #africa #rdc #portraitsfromtheworld #streets_storytelling #natgeopeople #travelstory #reportagespotlight #lovetotravel #igtravel #wanderlust #capture #moment #travel #travelphotography #vsco #canon #instadaily #picoftheday #colour #pop #justgoshoot . . .

Rachel Kavugho lost her husband and one of her children to Ebola. She then fell sick herself. Pregnant, she thought she and her unborn baby would die. Amazingly she survived. Eight months pregnant she returned to her husband’s family. They rejected her, however, saying she was cursed. Now, living back with her own parents she has a healthy baby boy and is hoping for a brighter future. . . .

A woman who has been exposed to Ebola has her temperature taken in Beni, #DRC. . #Ebola used to be akin to a death sentence. Many people still think it’s incurable. But actually the survival rates are increasing all the time. In DRC nearly 70% of those who go to a health care facility survive. .

A nun washes her hands at an Ebola treatment centre in Mangina, #DRC. . More than 3000 people have died from Ebola since the start of the outbreak last year. The same communities hit by Ebola are also battling against outbreaks of measles, malaria and cholera as well as ongoing violence and conflict. . .

Today marks two years since hundreds of thousands of #rohingya were forced to flee Myanmar and seek refuge in #Bangladesh. So many of them women like Tosmida, who experienced sexual violence and other brutalities as they fled. Now in Bangladesh, they are left trying to pick up the pieces. Hoping this next year brings signs of a more promising future. . . . . #women #womenempowerment #refugee #photography #portraitphotography #portrait #children #capture #moment #asia
