Strong Women Project

The goal of the project is to make portraits of strong women who have successfully faced oppression and discouragement as they dared to live their life according to their dreams and ambitions. These portraits are meant to show what women, even those living as minorities in patriarchal societies, can and do achieve regardless of obstacles that attempt to silence them and render them weak. The goal of the project is to remind women of power and courage within that once enabled these women to become real-life heroes and to emphasize the importance of the effort and need to not give up on the new generation of youth.

Community Mandala Project
