24 Hour Project: Empowering Female

Documenting humanity with a focus on women stories. 24 Hour Project invites photographers for social change to support NGOs worldwide. For this challenge I met with some inspiring individuals and organisations around Glasgow which are focused on empowering girls and women on different basis. The portraits where taken, edited and shared on social media on the same day, all aimed to raise awareness of their projects and activities. Appearing below: Kathi, travel blogger and co-producer of Femspectives, the Glasgow Feminist Film Festival. Laia and Morna, from the Milk Café (Southside) a social enterprise set up to empower and support refugee and migrant women living in Glasgow. Isla and Ruby (10 years old), raising their voices against climate change. Susan, from Glasgow Women's Aid, a feminist organisation working against domestic abuse and gender based violence. Djamila and Hattie, from Soul Food Sisters, a female-led collective and social enterprise that brings together women from all over the world, ending social isolation and empowering them to develop their talents in the kitchen and beyond. Lorna and Dawn, part of the Wise Women Glasgow team, a social enterprise created to provide women with strategies of prevention and self-defense against emotional and physical abuse. Some brave young girls taking part at the Youth Climate Strike. And myself, through the glass.
