EDF Photo Competition: ‘Breaking Barriers – Stories & Voices of Women and Girls with Disabilities’

Women and girls, particularly those with disabilities, are consistently left behind in various aspects of life. Across all life stages, women encounter both instances of discrimination and opportunities for growth, challenges, and achievements that shape their experiences.
