You don’t have to be a pro, just take a photo of what represents equity and justice (or inequity and injustice!) in your daily life.
The image could be about the gender pay gap, housing, public transport, employment, education, racism and discrimination, disability, poverty, social isolation, family violence, gendered stereotypes and gender roles or anything that you’ve noticed affecting women in the western region.
