In this project, Robin Hammond argues that “it is our moral duty to do what we can do to stop atrocities like this from happening. It is wrong to care less about people because they are further away, don’t speak your language, or look different from you. If this happened in front of us we would be outraged into action.”

Hammond’s intimate portraits are testament to the fact that such crimes continue. The stories give the women a voice, and their experiences of humiliation, torture, ostracism and displacement a long overdue place in contemporary history.
