Through Her Lens: Women Rising for Peace premiered this June at New York’s Photoville Festival, spotlighting the leadership and impact of women driving peace in some of the world’s most fragile settings.
Captured by local women photographers across 11 countries, the exhibition shares powerful stories of peacekeepers, activists, and allies working to build more just and secure futures.
Presented in collaboration with the UN Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, UN Women, and the Elsie Initiative Fund, the exhibit also marks 25 years of the #WomenPeaceSecurity agenda. We thank the governments of Australia, Canada, Denmark, the European Union, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the Republic of Korea, and the United Kingdom for their generous support in making this global showcase possible.
