International Women's Day photos
Yesterday (8 March) for International Women's Day, Ending Inpunity for Violence Against Women, I was asked to take photos during the UNAIDS Executive Director Dr. Peter Piot's address at UNESCAP.
The message is sobering because as real development progress has happened in developing countries, violence against women has not been fully tackled and building a real awareness in developing countries is still a challenge. I believe that this major issue will be a drag against development and progress if it remains underground and/or ignored.
The photographs are highlighted in the featured story on UNAIDS website.
