Women are Heroes





The Women are Heroes project aims to show the pivotal role of women in society by photographing them going about their daily lives and posting them on huge posters on the walls around their country. They serve to highlight the struggles and importance of women in desperate & traumatic communities around the world.

Photos are taken by a French photographer by the name of JR.

"The expressiveness of their faces testifies to their strength, their courage, and their will to fight, which keeps them going, keeps them alive."
