Through Her Lens: Women Photographers on Peace from Conflict Areas | United Nations

Melissa Fleming, Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications, moderates the World Photo Day Panel with Women Photographers from Conflict Areas. This World Photo Day, the United Nations hosted Through Her Lens: Perspectives on Peace, a panel featuring photographers Rita Kabalan (Lebanon), Mona Elfateh (Sudan), Narline Novembre (Haiti), Do Nsoseme Dora (Democratic Republic of the Congo), and Cailley Frank-Lehrer from Photoville New York, moderated by Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications Melissa Fleming. The panel explored the power of women telling their communities’ stories with empathy, nuance, and dignity, and the incredible resilience that drives them to persist despite the risks and barriers they face in conflict-affected contexts. This conversation is part of the broader exhibition Through Her Lens: Women Rising for Peace, which features powerful images of peacebuilders and peacekeepers advancing the Women, Peace and Security agenda captured by local women photographers from different conflict-affected areas. Organized by the United Nations Department of Peace Operations, the United Nations Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs and UN Women. #WomenPeaceSecurity #Photoville Explore the full exhibition here: https://throughherlens.un.org
